The United States government is taking steps to cut funding for a major global vaccine alliance, raising concerns about the future of immunization efforts in developing countries. The decision comes as part of a broader reassessment of US foreign aid and global health commitments.
Officials argue that the funding review aligns with national priorities and budget constraints. However, health experts warn that reducing financial support could weaken efforts to combat infectious diseases worldwide. The vaccine alliance, which relies on contributions from multiple countries, plays a crucial role in providing vaccines to low-income nations.
Critics say the move could undermine global health security and put millions at risk. Advocates are urging the US government to reconsider, emphasizing the long-term benefits of continued investment in vaccination programs.
