CGD's research on creating an Advance Market commitment for vaccines was cited in this Washington Post editorial that discusses the impact vaccines have on saving lives at a low cost.
From the article:
Over the past 50 years, vaccination campaigns have eradicated smallpox and contained polio, typhoid and measles. Because they do not require expert diagnosis or long-term treatment, vaccines are an especially formidable tool in countries with weak health systems. Some three-quarters of the world's children now receive a standard package of vaccines, saving 3 million lives a year and protecting millions more from disability. The cost of these programs per year of life saved comes to $20 in poor countries, according to the Center for Global Development. By contrast, medical interventions in the United States are considered cost-effective if they save a year of life for $50,000 or even $100,000.
