Trump administration unfreezes $600m for Gavi for global vaccine effort

The Trump administration said on Wednesday it will immediately release $600 million in congressionally appropriated funds ​for vaccines for the world's poorest countries after Washington withheld the money ‌over unsubstantiated safety concerns raised by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Gavi has embarked on a series of cost-cutting measures after Washington withheld the money.
