Background:

Currently, only 85% of children worldwide, and 77% of children in Africa, receive the recommended set of childhood vaccines.

Because of (a) the strong evidence that expanding access to vaccinations for children in the developing world is an effective way to save lives, and (b) the potential for it to do so cost effectively, we sought to answer the question: what giving opportunities would increase immunization coverage globally?

In order to answer this question, we spoke with the organizations working on this program. This page details our impressions from these conversations; most statements are supported by quotes from the conversations and not by detailed analysis.
