Administrația Trump deblochează 600 de milioane de dolari pentru vaccinarea copiilor din cele mai sărace țări

The Trump administration announced the immediate release of $600 million for vaccination programs in low-income countries, previously blocked due to safety concerns. The funds will be allocated to Gavi, which supports vaccine procurement for children. The decision follows Gavi's commitment to transition away from thimerosal-containing vaccines. U.S. officials emphasized the need for Gavi to enhance access to mercury-free vaccines and implement reforms. Concerns about vaccine safety, particularly regarding thimerosal, have been raised, but scientific studies have not found a link to autism. Future U.S. funding will depend on Gavi's performance and transparency.
