The major challenge
facing the modern world of vaccines is to get them
to people right at the end of the line - those
people who still don't have access to effective
treatment. It's not always remote villages way out
in the country, it can also be communities in some
of the world's massive slums. The problem is
vaccines tend to be complex and sophisticated
medicines. Many involve skilled disease diagnoses,
difficult delivery systems like cold chains, trained
staff to administer them and the complex follow-ups
and monitoring systems. This film looks at the
physical difficulties and costs of getting vaccines
to people in remote or forgotten places and people
stuck in the middle of wars. The film hopes to
follow Julian Lob-Levyt, head of the Global Alliance
for Vaccines and Immunisation, on a field trip to
Africa as he follows the journey of a consignment of
vaccines from arrival to injection.
Part of 4 x 25-minute
series produced for the BBC. These films can be
