Advocate to Vaccinate 2022 Recap

Every spring during Advocate to Vaccinate, Shot@Life advocates from across the nation raise their voices to help increase vaccine access for children and people around the world. This year, as Congress kicked off the 2023 budget planning season, advocates from all 50 states rallied together to encourage U.S. policymakers to fund investments in global vaccine programs. They raised awareness around the importance of vaccine equity,  especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and shared how vaccines help provide a #LongLifeForAll during World Immunization Week.

World Immunization Week 2022 Recap:

This year’s World Immunization Week theme “Long Life for All” unified people around the idea that vaccines make it possible for us to follow our dreams, protect our loved ones, and live a long, healthy life. Our advocates took to Twitter to share the importance of global vaccine access for all, supporting health workers, and strengthening health systems.

Special thank you as well to the 22 Congressional offices who tweeted out their support for vaccines! Here are a few below.
