He cites a plan in Great Britain, where child-immunizati- levels were low a few years ago despite 100 percent access. Then the government offered physicians a bonus if they achieved 70 percent immunization. Later the percentage was raised to 90 percent. Like Foege, magic, says their immunization figures have gone ahead of the United States. In extremely poor countries, the savings is more often in lives than money. Contracting a disease like measles can be a virtual death warrant for an infant already weakened by mal- nutrition and diarrhea, a major killer of Third World children. Although U.S. vaccination levels fall short, U.S. disease levels remain low. If you use that as your criteria, we do better than most You're Invited Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner 7 days a week 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Materials 678-214- vac- cination saves the lives of 3.2 million Third World children each year at a cost of about $13 a child. Despite EPIs progress, an estimated 1.8 million children in poor countries die each year from vaccine-preventab- 0 The toll includes 876,000 deaths from measles, 565,000 from tetanus in newborns, 363.000 from pertussis and 119.000 from polio. For every child who dies, another becomes permanently disabled by complications from the diseases. Because these diseases are so common in develop- ing countries, children tend to contract them earlier. Thus, EPI tries to get children fully immunized by age one. Progress is being made toward other goals: worldwide elimination of tetanus among newborns by 1995; global eradication of polio by 2000; a 95 percent reduction of deaths from measles hep-atitis-- B - against respiratory syncytial virus, an infection that kills 300,000 annually.
