Global Vaccine Drive Facing Acute Crisis
Geneva/Washington, May 11, 2010 – Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and Oxfam International published a report today warning that the global approach to providing life-saving vaccines to children in the poorest countries is hampered by high prices and is now facing an acute funding crisis.
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), which leads international efforts to boost immunization rates in developing countries, has reported considerable success in expanding access to vaccines against Hib and Hepatitis B, two diseases that cause considerable mortality. But the organization is now facing an acute cash crisis due to high prices for new vaccines and stagnating donor resources. Without an additional US$2.4 billion in donor contributions, GAVI will have to make significant cutbacks that will reduce access to vaccines in poor countries.
Read the report: Giving Developing Countries the Best Shot: An Overview of Vaccine Access and R&D
“The report shows that because of the fundamental nature of the vaccine market, it still takes years for expensive new vaccines developed for wealthy countries to reach children across the developing world, and that products emerging from the research pipeline are often insufficiently adapted to developing country needs and conditions,” said Dr. Tido von Schoen-Angerer, director of the MSF Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines.
GAVI’s attempts to speed up the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are an illustration of the hurdles faced by the organization. Used for a number of years in wealthy countries, PCVs have prevented hundreds of thousands of cases of pneumonia, meningitis and other serious infections. They have also generated billions of dollars in revenue for multinational drug companies. But the joint efforts of GAVI and donor countries to improve access to these blockbuster products in resource-poor settings have stumbled.
Despite repeated announcements of an impending roll-out of PCVs across developing countries, PCVs will remain out of reach for most children due to problems with supply and a lack of funds. Kenya is the only GAVI-eligible country that will receive the newer version of this life-saving vaccine in 2010, but the cost will be US$21 per child, an unacceptably high price for donors and developing countries to bear.
“The newest vaccines continue to be produced by only a handful of multinational pharmaceutical companies whose oligopoly status allows them to charge high prices,” said Rohit Malpani, senior policy advisor at Oxfam. “Despite GAVI’s negotiating power, the price of new vaccines is too high. The Best Shot report highlights novel ways of developing affordable vaccines to improve children’s access to them, increasing their chances of survival.”
One example cited by the report is the collaboration between the World Health Organization, PATH, a US-based non-profit, and the Serum Institute of India, which has resulted in a meningitis vaccine that will cost no more than $0.50 per dose. This vaccine, which is tailored to the needs of countries in the so-called “Meningitis Belt” in sub-Saharan Africa, should be available by the end of the year.
MSF and Oxfam are calling for changing the current system so that donor funds incentivize the development of adapted vaccines and ensure affordable prices.
In addition, the report states that routine immunization programs need to be further expanded. In developing countries, two million children die every year because they cannot access already existing vaccinations.
DIOXIN CONTAMINATION - GERMANY, NETHERLANDS: TABLE EGGS, ORGANIC

Organic poultry farms locked in Germany and the Netherlands
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dutch and German organic poultry farms are locked because of dioxin
contamination in animal feed, according to German and Dutch
authorities. It involves 8 farms in the Netherlands and 19 farms in
Germany that cannot sell their eggs for at least a week.
The dioxin infection has been caused by contaminated corn from the
Ukraine. The grains have been processed in organic poultry feed by
several feed companies, which in turn supplied the feed to several
German layer farms.
According to TrusQ, a cooperation between feed manufacturers in the
field of food safety, the damage could be several hundred-thousands Euros.

PPC Chairman DPC direct municipal and related industries to enhance the transport of test animals, animal products and decided to support funding for prevention and deducted from the district budget reserve city.
Pols banned from outbreak areas
The ministry has been scrambling to contain the latest outbreak that erupted in April, and has so far led to the slaughter of more than 48,700 animals across the nation.
Compensation to the affected farms is threatening to reach the 53.1 billion won ($46.9 million) level seen in the 2002 outbreak.
The government has kept the foot-and-mouth alert at red, the highest level in its four-tier system, since last month.
To help contain the spread of the contagious cattle disease, the Agriculture Ministry said yesterday it has asked local governments to ban candidates from entering the disputed areas.
That means political candidates running in the Gangwha Island and Gimpo areas in Gyeonggi and several counties in South and North Chung-cheong provinces will be barred from entering some electoral areas.
The rule applies not only to the candidates themselves, but also to campaign volunteers and cars used for street campaigns.
In addition, all voting places across the country will be equipped with hand sanitizing machines and shoe sanitizing mats.
Since the outbreak began on April 8, quarantine authorities have feared that increasingly warmer weather, more travels and more public gatherings for political campaigns may exacerbate what is already threatening to become the worst foot-and-mouth outbreak ever here.
The ministry has opened roadside checkpoints in areas crowded with livestock farms to sanitize passing cars and their passengers until June 2.
It has also urged veterinarians and slaughterhouse and animal feed plant employees not to travel out of cities and provinces where they work.
“This is the most critical time to weed out the current outbreak,” Ha Young-je, the Vice Agriculture Minister, said in a briefing yesterday.
“But travel by people and cars are increasing ahead of the regional election, so we’ve decided to beef up the cordoning efforts.”
Eleven cases of foot-and-mouth disease have been confirmed since early April.
The outbreak originated on Gangwha Island on the west coast, but has spread to mainland areas including North and South Chungcheong provinces.
The overall financial damage, including compensation for affected farms and other costs, is expected to reach 260 billion won.
Government officials fear the number may climb as high as the record 300.6 billion won set in 2000 if the outbreak is not held in check.

The case sparked fears of an outbreak after CNN reported the death during an interview with actor Sean Penn, who is helping manage a tarp-and-tent camp in the capital, Port-au-Prince. A caption accompanying a story on CNN's website said: "Diphtheria epidemic threatens Haiti."
But Banerjee said the case was isolated, antibiotics were distributed to the boy's neighbors and no other cases of the contagious respiratory disease had been diagnosed.
"So far as we see it, this is just an isolated case and there are no other cases," said Banerjee, coordinator for a committee of international organizations and Haitian officials overseeing health issues in the quake zone.
But he added that concerns about the threat of infectious diseases breaking out across quake-ravaged areas are well-founded. Many of the 1.3 million people displaced by the magnitude-7 quake are living in squalid camps where infection can spread easily.
A total of 900,000 people in quake-affected areas were vaccinated against diphtheria and other diseases in a campaign that ended last month. Another mass campaign is planned for June.
Officials are especially concerned about widespread diarrhea, which can be fatal for children, and increased levels of mosquito-borne malaria
