Vaccines have been one of the major revolutions in the history of mankind and, during the
twentieth century, they eliminated most of the childhood diseases that used to cause millions
of deaths. In the twenty-first century, vaccines will also play a major part in safeguarding
people's health. Supported by the innovations derived from new technologies, vaccines will
address the new needs of a twenty-first century society characterized by increased life
expectancy, emerging infections and poverty in low-income countries.
