In its first decade, GAVI has helped prevent more than five million future deaths through routine immunisation against hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and pertussis (whooping cough), and one-off investments in immunisation against measles, polio and yellow fever. Many more have been protected against debilitating illness and disability.

Immunisation coverage has climbed steadily in the last decade. Coverage for three doses of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine (DTP3) in low income countries in 2010 is projected at 79% - the highest level ever seen in the developing world. From 2000 to 2010, more than 288 million children have been immunised with GAVI-funded vaccines.
