Author: number one killer of small children around the world, malaria, measles and HIV. His strattera dosage pneumonia, and each year more children die from pneumonia than from those three, much more high-profile diseases combined. Global movement to bring a vaccine against bacterial cause of pneumonia in the community who need it most increases rapidly growing in nearly 60 countries over the next five years. In Nyusauer Friday, Ray Suarez reports from Nicaragua, the first country to receive the vaccine under the new campaign and considers corporate market between the government and NGO agreement which gave opportunity for poor countries to afford it. Watch the preview:
least 3000000 child deaths could be prevented over the next decade in the global deployment of vaccines, according to new analysis
in the journal of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene to experts in the field of health Children's Hospital Boston and Johns Hopkins in particular. In Nicaragua, as a precursor of fifteen low-income countries have a Pneumococcal vaccine-targeted bacteria that can cause pneumonia They receive vaccines through partnership with HAVI, Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. The organization helps negotiate a 90 percent price reduction from manufacturers of vaccines in 2010, bringing the price to $ 3. 50 a dose. The reduction was made possible by new funding mechanism called advance market commitments, which guarantee producers a market through HAVI as collective bargaining. Location provides an incentive for pharmaceutical companies to reduce cost and increase production. And the scale was fast.

But the desire to speed up vaccine for countries with low resources is not without complications. Countries should have a certain level of health infrastructure to ensure the vaccine, and some non-governmental organizations including >> << say that eliminates some of the poorest countries most in need, whether to enter into an agreement . Others argue HAVI to see even lower prices for vaccines for the campaign are sustainable. Countries that are not right, such as Nicaragua, face their own problems to strengthen infrastructure to meet the needs of large scale immunization campaign. Vaccines should be stored refrigerated, such as equipping the clinic or add existing equipment may be difficult in poor rural areas. Researchers at Johns Hopkins also noted that the emphasis on vaccine should not be taken from efforts to treat pneumonia. Timely treatment of pneumonia can be life saving, and not on a regular basis in developed countries. Access to relevant antibiotics is extremely unbalanced, the report says, and in some countries, only 5 percent of the population can receive the necessary treatment. "Vaccines and antibiotics as two systems of social protection, working together," warned Orin Levine, Professor, Executive Director, International Center for access to vaccines at Johns Hopkins. "Vaccines provide the first line of defense, while antibiotics to children who get through the first net not die." Read on >> << Ray Suarez about the impact of the vaccine.
