Become a Shot@Life Champion
We need your help to make sure Congress provides robust funding and support for global childhood immunization programs.
Shot@Life Champions are our strongest supporters across the United States — individuals who are dedicating their voice, time, and support to stand up for children in developing countries.
We provide training and ongoing support to prepare you to effectively advocate for equitable vaccine access around the world. By learning to advocate on behalf of the Shot@Life campaign in Congress, you will be a part of the efforts to garner increased funding towards global immunization.
By advocating on Capitol Hill for vaccine equity, Shot@Life Champions are helping us move closer to ensuring that no child dies of preventable diseases.
