On Friday, Bill Gates and his wife Melinda announced that they are investing $10billion into a 10-year program that will focus on providing vaccines for AIDS, tuberculosis, rota virus and pneumonia to countries around the world. “Vaccines are a miracle. With just a few doses, they can prevent deadly diseases for a lifetime. We've made vaccines our priority at the Gates Foundation because we've seen firsthand their incredible impact on children's lives.
