The success of the campaign also depended upon an innovative vaccine development model spanning four continents. Partners in this effort ranged from the Meningitis Vaccine Project, to funders like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to the Serum Institute of India Ltd., which committed to making the vaccine for less than $0.50 (U.S.) per dose. Finally, critical to the rollout was the GAVI Alliance, which supports the introduction of vaccines in the developing world.
