Maximizing Every Dose and Dollar: The Imperative of Efficiency in Vaccine Delivery
Immunization is one of the best investments to improve lives around the world, and the total cost of fully vaccinating every child in developing countries is a small fraction of the amount that our own home countries spend on coffee or on cruise missiles every year. Yet while we urge rich nations to increase their investments in global vaccination, we recognize that we cannot rely solely on additional funding to realize the tremendous potential of expanded immunization. We must also maximize the number of children that we protect with every committed dollar and dose of vaccine that we purchase.
