On 13 June 2011 new funding to help immunize millions of people against preventable diseases was pledged by EU Development Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs. During the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations (GAVI) Conference in London, the Commissioner will announce the pledge towards the US$ 3.7 billion (or €2.6 billion) total which GAVI has said it needs to vaccinate nearly 250 million children over the next five years. This is expected to save almost 4 million lives. |
