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.
