Accelerating vaccines: GAVI support has prevented 4 million premature deaths
By the end of 2009, WHO projects that GAVI support will have prevented four million future deaths caused by Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and pertussis.
Since GAVI was established in 2000, 256.7 million additional children have been immunised against a variety of preventable diseases in the world's poorest countries. By 2010, that number is projected to increase to over 300 million children.
