 AB    The prospects for many children born in developing countries to reach
       adulthood has been transformed over the last 30 years by the activities
       of the Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) established by the World
       Health Organization (WHO) in 1974. By 1990, about 80% of children had
       been vaccinated against six common childhood diseases. The advent of new
       technologies provided a strong stimulus to those involved in vaccine
       design, development and delivery, and offered the possibility of
       improving current vaccines, developing new vaccines and simplifying
       vaccination practices. This in turn led to the formation of the
       Children's Vaccine Initiative (CVI) in the early 1990s. The worldwide
       emergence of new diseases such as HIV/AIDS and the re-emergence of old
       diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera present additional challenges.
