Abstract

There are four old and well established vaccines for bacterial infections in children: the vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis and whooping cough (pertussis). Their value has been amply proven and they are now the mainstay of the Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) of the WHO, recommended to be given to each infant born in the world. Their actual usage covers roughly two thirds of the world’s children and is rapidly increasing through collaborative efforts of EPI. The EPI framework would give an excellent opportunity to introduce new vaccines to rapidly benefit children in all countries. Do we have such vaccines ready? For which diseases would new vaccines be needed (Institute of Medicine, 1986; Griffiss et al, 1987; Robbins and Freeman, 1988)?
