GERMANY: CHILDREN'S VACCINE MARKET
Article Abstract:
According to professor Wolfgang Jilg, member of board of the vaccination commission of Robert Koch Institute, says that about 98% of children in Germany are vaccinated. The number of births in Germany exceeds 700,000 annually. Each child gets about 24 vaccinations, with the pharmaceutical costs along amounting to DM 600 to DM 1,000 per child. About 24% of vaccination doses used in Germany are for the basic protection of children. However, basic vaccinations for children contribute 44% of the vaccines turnover of the pharmaceutical industry. About 16% of the 54mn vaccinations in Germany in 1999 were for travellers, who account for 28% of the turnover of the vaccines market.
