Vaccine Ambassadors is seeking pediatric practices who are interested in participating in a pilot that will increase access to life-saving vaccines for children and families residing in Latin America and the Caribbean.
By partnering with Vaccine Ambassadors and members of the community, pediatricians can extend their reach and have a tangible impact on the health of those in need of basic immunization services.
We are looking for energetic members for this pilot who are willing to trial a donation program and provide feedback prior to a larger rollout. 100% of contributions collected through this initiative will go to the purchase and delivery of vaccines and related supplies and services.
This pandemic as served to remind us of the power that vaccines have to prevent illness and save lives. Prior to COVID-19, approximately 1.5 million children died each year (a child every 20 seconds) from diseases that are easily and inexpensively preventable by routine vaccination. Disruptions in immunization services and reallocation of scare resources to combat the pandemic has put an estimated 80 million children at risk for missing vaccines.

Mission Statement
Working with partners to achieve equitable access and uptake of life-saving vaccines for everyone. One vaccine at a time. One community at a time .
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic as reminded us of the power that vaccines have to prevent illness and save lives. We have also witnessed the stark inequities to vaccine access around the globe. Vaccines are one of the most cost- effective public health interventions proven to save lives. However, not all children and families have access to this life-saving technology. One in five children (19.4 million) worldwide go without basic immunizations each year. As a result, 1.5 million children die before reaching their fifth birthday due to vaccine-preventable diseases (a death every 20 seconds). Disruption in immunization services as a result of COVID-19 have put millions of more children as risk for missing out on routine immunizations. Maintaining services is essential to save lives. Vaccine Ambassadors supports the purchase and delivery of vaccines and related supplies and services. To-date, Vaccines Ambassadors has provided over 800,000 vaccines covering 12 different diseases.
