Please note: this page lists documents that are highly relevant to international vaccine R&D efforts in the above diseases. While most were prepared by, or incollaboration with staff of the Vaccine R&D Teams in the WHO Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, some were prepared, in part or in their entirety by other WHO entities and/or authors who are not WHO staff. The collaboration of the latter is gratefully acknowledged.
