Immunization saves lives.  It is one of the most cost-effective, equitable health interventions available.  Once immunized, every child, rich or poor, is equally protected for life.  The World Bank supports immunization worldwide through:

• assistance to country governments via loans and credits, and technical assistance.
• policy dialogue aimed at making immunization a priority
• partnerships with organizations strengthening the control of communicable diseases, as well as grants to help stimulate vaccine research and development.
