Shot@Life is a grassroots advocacy campaign part of the United Nations Foundation. It works to secure funding for global childhood vaccines by completing grassroots advocacy here in the States. Twice a year, we hold meetings with Congress members to ask for and reiterate the request for global childhood vaccines in hopes that the US budget will include funding for vaccine programs for WHO, UNICEF, USAID, CDC, Gavi, and other partner organizations. The lessons learned include understanding how to effectively communicate the message to different members of Congress to make the problem resonate with them. Three students/alumni per year typically are selected for the in-person Shot@Life Summit to partake in grassroots advocacy and attend sessions highlighting challenges from the field and solutions to the challenge of vaccine equity globally. I involve as many students as I can in local advocacy, but Shot@Life selects students based on an application to the in-person summit.
