Never before have so many children been vaccinated as today: Last year, 106 million newborns worldwide received the protective prick, according to the 2009 World Vaccination Report. However, every fifth child still has to get along without vaccination against life-threatening diseases, criticize the World Health Organization WHO, the UN Children's Fund UNICEF and the World Bank in the report presented in Washington on Wednesday. Every year, 24 million babies in developing and emerging countries are not vaccinated in their first year of life. In order to close this gap, at least one billion dollars (668 million euros) per year is also necessary.

According to the UN study, the success of vaccinations is obvious: Vaccinations against infections such as measles, polio, tetanus and tuberculosis would meanwhile save the lives of 2.5 million people every year and save many more serious illnesses with sometimes life-long consequences. “Between 2000 and 2007, deaths from measles worldwide fell by 74 percent. Vaccinations have played an important role in this decline, ”UNICEF Director Ann Veneman said in the statement. According to its own information, the UN Children's Fund procures the vaccines for 55 percent of all children on earth.

 The development of new vaccines is meanwhile experiencing a boom, it said. According to the experts, there are now more than 120 vaccines against deadly diseases available - more than ever before. 80 preparations are also in the final test phases. Among them are 30 who are supposed to protect against diseases against which there are currently no vaccinations. During the past eight years, the global vaccine market has tripled, with sales now totaling 17 billion US dollars (11.3 billion euros).
