Over 1.5 million children die every year from vaccine-preventable diseases. A study shows that the lifelong return on funding vaccine programmes is far higher than other investments. A dollar invested in vaccination can give 16-fold return ( savings in healthcare costs, lost wages etc). On the other hand, a dollar invested in pre-school education can bring a mere return of 5 times the cost.
