Mostly True
Confidence: 85%

Since 2000, @gavi has helped get vaccines to 1.1 billion children. The U.S. announced that, after this year, it’s pulling out all its money. If that happens, Gavi estimates that 75 million children will miss vaccinations over the next five years—and of those, 1.2 million children will die.

Summary

The claim that Gavi has helped vaccinate 1.1 billion children since 2000 is accurate, and the potential impact of U.S. funding withdrawal on vaccination rates and child mortality is supported by Gavi's estimates. However, the exact figures regarding the number of children who will miss vaccinations and the projected deaths are estimates and may vary based on future circumstances.
