The Children's Vaccine Initiative Achieving the Vision

Violaine S. Mitchell, Nalini M. Philipose, and Jay P. Sanford, - Personal Name;

Vaccines are among the most cost-effective health interventions known. Indeed, the development and widespread use of vaccines in developed and developing countries have contributed greatly to the prevention of many devastating childhood diseases. Progress has been particularly impressive in the two decades since the establishment of the Expanded Program on Immunization under the leadership of the World Health Organization. Unfortunately, a significant percentage of children, most in the poorest and most remote regions of the world, are not adequately immunized with existing vaccines. Underimmunization is also a problem in the United States, particularly among economically disadvantaged children living in rural and urban areas. Furthermore, no effective vaccines exist for a number of important infectious childhood illnesses. The Children's Vaccine Initiative was launched at the World Summit for Children in New York City in September 1990 to address these and other concerns related to childhood immunization.
