Helen Clark named as new Chair of the Gavi Board

Geneva, 6 October 2025

It is an honour for me to be appointed as the new Chair of the Board of Gavi - the Vaccine Alliance. Gavi’s mission to reach every child with essential vaccinations is literally life-saving. It stands for equitable access to vaccines. Established 25 years ago, Gavi has helped to vaccinate 1.2 billion children in 78 developing countries, and prevented 20.6 million future deaths. This is a noble mission which I am proud to support. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
