Scientists from the government, the World Health Organization, a French agency and others have been studying the campaign. They estimate that the program now prevents thirty thousand severe infections and five thousand deaths in children under five each year. Their report is to be published next month in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization. The GAVI Alliance paid for the vaccines. GAVI was formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. This alliance of private and public interests was created in two thousand to widen the availability of immunizations. With GAVI support, Uganda provided sixteen and a half million doses of Hib vaccine nationwide from two thousand two to two thousand six.Other studies have found similar results with Hib vaccines in countries including B, K and G. But the executive secretary of the alliance, Julian L-L, says this is the first time the group has seen rates drop to zero.
Uganda chose to use an injection that contains vaccines against five diseases: Hib as well as d,p,t,hbdiphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and hepatitis B.in november,the GAVI board approved additional financing to pay for hib vaccine in a tatal of 44 countries.
