According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.4 million of the 10.5 million deaths worldwide each year among children under age 5 are the result of vaccine-preventable diseases.[15] In 1990, UNICEF, WHO, and other stakeholders launched the Children's Vaccine Initiative (CVI); to accelerate global immunization of infants, to challenge vaccine developers to combine childhood vaccines into a single, preferably oral vaccine, that is stable at ambient temperature. Combination vaccines are already being used to immunize infants in the developing world and continue to be developed for this purpose.
Many infants in the poorest nations are currently being immunized with a DTaP-HepB-Hib combination vaccine. On the horizon is a DTaP-HepB-Hib-MenAC combination (Globorix) being developed by GlaxoSmithKline that is in phase III trials and is intended for distribution in the "Menin-gitis Belt" of Africa—predicted to be available in 2008. Use of this vaccine would represent a fundamental shift in strategy for control of meningococcal infections in this region of the world, from one of reacting to outbreaks with polysaccharide vaccine, to incorporating vaccination against N. meningitidis into the routine immunization schedule for infants, without adding extra injections, or costs for transport or storage.
Of course, reducing morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases in children worldwide depends not only on development of new vaccines, but also on unremitting commitment to ensuring access to new vaccines as well as to already available vaccines. Public-private partnerships such as the GAVI Alliance aimed at strengthening immunization delivery systems and developing innovative, sustainable funding strategies for vaccinations in developing countries stand to play an essential role in the reduction of child mortality worldwide.
