Sen. Susan Collins says the U.S. State Department is set to reinstate funding for the global humanitarian vaccine alliance GAVI, after the Trump administration previously paused the program. Collins, a Republican from Maine, tells reporters that the State Department has committed to contributing the full amount of $600 million for GAVI following recent outreach. The announcement comes after the program was halted under the earlier policy decision, prompting concerns about continuity of support for vaccine delivery and related humanitarian health efforts. Collins characterizes the development as welcome, indicating that the funding would resume at the previously planned level rather than partially. The reports describe the pledge as a State Department contribution rather than a change initiated by GAVI itself. No additional details are provided in the included summaries about timing for the reinstatement, the conditions for receiving funds, or whether other agencies will contribute alongside the State Department. The central point across sources is Collins’ statement that the State Department will restore the full $600 million commitment to GAVI.
