Key indicators: measuring the Alliance's progress against its four strategic
goals

Accelerating vaccines: GAVI support has prevented 3.4 million premature deaths

As a result of GAVI Alliance support, WHO projects that 3.4 million future
cumulative deaths caused by hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and
pertussis have been averted. This is an increase of 600,000 on the estimate of
future deaths averted at the end of 2007.

WHO projects a cumulative 213 million additional children have been reached with
GAVI-supported underused vaccines from 2000 to 2008.


Over the same period:

A cumulative 50.9 million additional children were vaccinated with three doses
of the DTP3 (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) vaccine.

Hepatitis B vaccine has reached a cumulative 192.2 million additional children,
up from an estimated 155.7 million at the end of 2007.

The cumulative additional number of children supported with three doses of
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine is 41.8 million, up from an
estimated 28.2 million just 12 months earlier.
