Today, one out of every five children is not vaccinated. Annually more than one million deaths occur due to vaccine-preventable diseases. VAE's mission is to provide access to one of the most cost-effective interventions that medical science has to offer.

Dr. Andrus joined Sabin in 2014 from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) with more than three decades of experience as a global health leader and a well-documented record for fostering collaboration among national governments and partners to expand access to vaccines for the world's poorest people.

Focusing on improving the delivery of vaccines, Sabin's VAE program strengthens the case for immunization programs as one of the best investments in public health. We work with national governments, inform policy makers, build networks, conduct research and train leaders, all with the goal of reducing the incidence of vaccine-preventable deaths to zero.

The VAE program emphasizes the importance of equity in immunization levels as outlined in the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP). The GVAP is a policy/action framework to prevent millions of deaths by 2020 by achieving universal access to all vaccines.
