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.
