Much of my work focuses on supporting the development of new vaccines, which (obviously!) matters enormously. But there’s a lot of impact left on the table with vaccines we already have.
Important details (dose, schedule, and patient eligibility) are often set during development, and there’s little commercial incentive to revisit them later. Yet the payoff can be huge. For example, the switch to single-dose HPV schedules means a more cost-effective vaccine, and the same vaccine supply protects far more people.
So @coeff_giving is launching a $30 million call for work that gets more out of licensed and late-stage vaccines, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. Ideas don’t need to be fully formed.

Planned UK cuts to the global vaccine alliance could lead to hundreds of thousands of children dying. Hard to fathom those numbers.

Are agencies putting proven aid approaches into practice?
@patstadler, @gabriel_han1, & @EconMitch put forward a potential framework for measuring the extent to which development agencies are utilizing high-impact approaches:

. @CGDev we have produced a lot of analysis showing the impact of USAID cuts.
In a new initiative a team is identifying some of the most cost-effective exUSAID programs that can still be rescued and match them with donors willing to fund them.

Today likely marks the lowest number of child deaths in human history.
@UNICEF’s latest data shows that the world’s most important number keeps falling.
A quiet global miracle — almost never mentioned in the news. Thank you for tracking it, @UNICEFData.

Each dot represents 10 people whose lives depend on US foreign aid for HIV prevention & treatment.
Without it, 1.6m people could die per year.
@charlesjkenny & I were pleased to work with @NickKristof and the NYT data viz team to show the stakes of what’s happening at USAID.

If you optimize over the whole aid/gov't budget, not just the malaria budget, then vaccines are an argument for spending more on malaria, not less.
