2Coordinator, Secretariat Children's Vaccine Initiative, 20 Avenue Appia, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland Barry Bloom (a Howard Hughes Investigator at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine) and Roy Widdus (Coordinator of the Children's Vaccine Initiative) describe their vision of global implementation of vaccines, highlighting what has already been achieved and, perhaps more importantly, what remains to be done. They also call for further efforts to develop the broad collaborations required to achieve a new vision for global vaccine use.
