Reassessing the value of vaccines
In May, 1974, WHO launched the Expanded Programme on Immunization—the global programme to immunise children worldwide with a set of (at the time) six core vaccines. 40 years on, the GAVI Alliance has brought us together, a group of 29 leading technical experts in health and development economics, cognitive development, epidemiology, disease burden, and economic modelling to review and understand the broader outcomes of vaccines beyond morbidity and mortality, to identify research opportunities, and to create a research agenda that will help to further quantify the value of this effect.
