Summary:

Although international efforts have boosted the percentage of children immunized against six serious diseases to a global average of 80 percent, the immunization rates of many countries fall far below this average. Many countries also have yet to expand their immunization programs to include newer vaccines that the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended for use in the developing world. These shortfalls have serious consequences: at least four million children in developing countries die each year because they lack access to vaccines, according to WHO. In November 1999, GAO convened a conference in Washington, D.C., to discuss immunization problems in developing countries. Participants included representatives from multilateral organizations, the U.S. government, private foundations, and the pharmaceutical industry. This report reproduces the conference agenda and summarizes the views expressed at the conference.
