About us

ChildVax was founded with a vision: To ensure that every child in Uganda has access to life-saving vaccines. The journey began in 2021, when a group of dedicated healthcare professionals and community activists, led by Dr. Ivan Chemos, saw the devastating impact of vaccine-preventable diseases in their communities. They witnessed firsthand how lack of access to essential immunization services was resulting in needless illness, disability, and death among children. Recognizing the urgent need for a solution, the team embarked on a mission to break down the barriers preventing children from getting vaccinated. They understood that the obstacles were financial constraints and lack of awareness. Determined to make a difference, they decided to tackle these issues by creating ChildVax.
