GiveVaccines.org

GiveVaccines.org is a website founded in 2008 that uses an interactive vocabulary game to donate life-saving vaccines to impoverished areas of the world. The site, in partnership with the GAVI Alliance, donates .01 mL of vaccine for every correct answer given by participants. GiveVaccines.org incorporates two categories of vocabulary terms: English and medical terms. The medical category includes over 15 sub-categories of terms found in specific medical concentrations. GiveVaccines.org is committed to increasing awareness about vaccine preventable diseases, bringing about the realization that one person and one vaccine can make a difference and potentially save a life, while empowering people to be a part of the solution by participating in an interactive and educational tool.
