A new vaccine against pneumonia is being rolled out in Africa which estimates suggest could save more than half a million lives a year globally.
The Gavi Alliance, a global health partnership of public and private sectors for immunisation, says 19 countries will get the jab at first.
Kenyan children have begun receiving it and Sierra Leone, Yemen, Honduras and Guyana will follow this year.
Infants in Nicaragua also started receiving the vaccine a few weeks ago.
Many more countries could benefit if the funding becomes available.
Gavi says it needs an extra £500m ($800m) annually for the next five years to meet a shortfall in immunisation for existing and new vaccines.

IRISH: Or, perhaps another attempt at population control. It is the way the Media portray this as the next best thing, when really, it is full of living shorting materials. I also love the way that they are targeting Africa yet again, one day these people will be left in peace to get on with their lives, grown their crops and control their own reality, without these Bastds goin g after them time and time again!
