The premise of the quiz is to solve proposed English language or medical terminology words to their answers. These words will consist of word roots, prefixes and suffixes etc. The participant may select from the following categories: Medical Terms or English Words. Within the medical term category, you may select " ALL " to include all medical terminology or you may select a specific sub-category within this test bank. Soon we will expand the banks of questions.

For each correct answer, GiveVaccines.org will provide funds to the GAVI Fund to purchase the life-giving vaccines via the GAVI Alliance. So, your participation and number of correct answers will be responsible for your level of contribution. Your total amount of funds donated will be tallied on the screen along with an aggregate total from all participants on the website.

After attempting the GiveVaccines vocabulary quiz, you may find a subtle change in the following:


Our hope at GiveVaccines is that you will find some enjoyment in this while increasing your vocabulary at the same time. An added benefit is the knowledge that your participation in this game-quiz will provide the funding to the GAVI Fund for the purchase of vaccines. Together with others, you will ultimately save lives.

After you have selected your answer, the GiveVaccines program will indicate if the answer is correct or incorrect. To obtain an expanded definition and pronunciation of the test word, simply click on the link under the answer and you will be directed to THE FREE DICTIONARY by FARLEX.

The GiveVaccines program will monitor the test questions and assign a level of difficulty based on the number of participants answering the question correctly. In other words, the questions with the most number of correct answers will be assigned the easiest level and the questions with least number of correct answers will be ranked harder. As more participants play, then the accuracy of this grading system will improve.

A participant will pass through levels based on his/her performance. If the participant answers five (5) questions correctly, he/she will pass into the next level. Conversely, if the participant answers five (5) questions incorrectly then he/she will be placed in a lower level. In addition, the test questions within a given level will vary based on the performance of the participant. First-time participants will start with test questions from level two (2).

Let's get started! Have fun, expand your vocabulary and at the same time provide the funds necessary for the purchase of life-saving vaccines to those in need.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates during the period 2000-2007 that the efforts of the GAVI Alliance have been responsible for:

Absolutely, the value of vaccines and their ability to save lives have been well documented. "Of the 10 million children who die before reaching their fifth birthday every year, 2.5 million die from diseases that could be prevented with currently available or new vaccines."GAVI Alliance

That is an astounding 6849 children per day!

"Nearly 30 million children are still not fully immunized every year." UNICEF

Yes, you can certainly make a difference.

Through the efforts of many people, organizations and YOU, significant strides in the prevention of disease have been made in some of the poorest nations in the world. Immunization rates are increasing and government funded programs are growing worldwide.

"In the world's poorest countries, one in four children has no access to the most basic health services. Children in these countries are 10 times more likely to die of preventable disease than children in wealthier nations. Each year 2.5 million children succumb to diseases that could be averted through vaccinations. We can prevent these deaths." GAVI Fund

"Since its creation in 2000, the GAVI Alliance has helped increase significantly the number of children who have access to immunization. The World Health Organization projects that GAVI has helped to vaccinate more than 160 million children and prevent more than 2.9 million deaths in its first seven years of operation. Spending on vaccines in the poorest countries supported by GAVI more than doubled from $ 2.50 per child to $ 5.00 per child in 2005. Now these countries finance an average of one-third of their immunization costs - a remarkable achievement."GAVI Alliance
