The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is a global strategy that aims to strengthen children's immunization programs and introduce new generations of licensed vaccines in developing countries worldwide. These new vaccines, which could help reduce the number of deaths in children aged 5 years old and below, include vaccines for hepatitis B, childhood meningitis, yellow fever, influenza, and pneumonia. The document then provides further details on each of these vaccines.

YELLOW FEVER VACCINE
INFLUENZA VACCINE
VACCINE FOR PNUEMONIA

3. HEPATITIS B VACCINE
Hepatitis B vaccination is routinely available as part of the NHS
vaccination schedule. It's offered to all babies at 8, 12 and 16 weeks
of age.
It's also offered to those thought to be at increased risk of hepatitis B or
its complications.
The vaccine gives protection against the hepatitis B virus, which is a
major cause of serious liver disease, including scarring of the liver
(cirrhosis) and liver cancer..

4. CHILDHOOD MININGITIS
The meningitis B vaccine is a new vaccine that offers protection
against meningococcal group B bacteria, which are a
common cause of meningitis in young children in the UK.
The vaccine is recommended for babies aged eight weeks,
followed by a second dose at 16 weeks, and a booster at one
year.

5. YELLOW FEVER VACCINE
There's a very effective vaccine that can stop you getting
yellow fever if you're travelling to an area where the
infection is found.
It's given as an injection into your upper arm.
But even if you've been vaccinated, it's important to prevent
insect bites as mosquitoes can also spread other serious
illnesses.

6. INFLUENZA VACCINE
Influenza vaccines, also known as flu shots or flu jabs, are vaccines that protect
against infection by influenza viruses. A new version of the vaccine is
developed twice a year, as the influenza virus rapidly changes. While their
effectiveness varies from year to year, most provide modest to high protection
against influenza. The United States Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that vaccination against influenza reduces
sickness, medical visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. When an immunized
worker does catch the flu, they are on average back at work a half day
sooner. Vaccine effectiveness in those under two years old and over 65 years
old remains unknown due to the low quality of the research. Vaccinating
children may protect those around them.

7. VACCINE FOR PNEUMONIA
The pneumococcal vaccine protects against serious and
potentially fatal pneumococcal infections. It's also known as
the "pneumo jab" or pneumonia vaccine.
Pneumococcal infections are caused by the bacterium
Streptococcus pneumoniae and can lead to pneumonia,
septicaemia (a kind of blood poisoning) and meningitis. At
their worst, they can cause permanent brain damage, or even
kill.
