But the race is on to find one and several companies are getting close. This episode of Kill or Cure? looks at two different approaches. First we travel to Bagamoyo in Tanzania, where they are hoping to produce one of the most advanced vaccines in the world and, so far, trials of the drug have gone well. But they have rivals - the Sanaria team based at Rockville in Maryland. There, scientists are using some of the most deadly mosquitoes in the world to find an effective vaccine.

Esther Bokawurkin is a real survivor. She lives in a remote village in southern Nigeria and it’s not just that she has 12 children, but when she was younger she was infected by the parasitic worm that causes river blindness. She was one of the lucky ones and made a full recovery but many of her friends and neighbours did not and they went blind. Survivor’s Guide tells Esther’s story and, because there is such a shortage of qualified doctors and nurses, she is helping by becoming a health volunteer trained to dispense drugs. Volunteers like Esther are starting to make a real difference to the health of people in isolated communities where there is virtually no access to proper healthcare.

A third of the world is starving. Every day 16,000 children die through hunger. It's often not just a simple lack of food. Many children who battle against hunger have to deal with chronic under-nourishment and vitamin and mineral starvation, sometimes leading to blindness. Experts believe improving food by adding vitamins and minerals is one of the most successful ways of fighting the effects of hunger and starvation. But does it work? We are what we eat takes Margary, mother of five, and shows how fighting hunger is a day to day struggle, and how without those vital nutrients, her children's lives are at risk.

Malaria is primarily a disease of the young and of the poor, many of them children who live in remote areas with no easy access to health services. Most malarial deaths in Africa are among children. Nearly 3,000 die each day. But the use of simple prevention and control methods has shown startling results. Trials conducted in The Gambia, Burkina Faso, Kenya and Ghana, the use of bed nets treated with biodegradable pyrethroid insecticide have proved to be highly effective in protecting sleeping children from malarial mosquitoes. The results have been dramatic. In children under five the number of deaths in some of these areas has been reduced by a quarter. In Ethiopia Fatumo knows all about Malaria, having lost two children to it. Following her heartbreaking story of how this deadly disease has affected her, we learn how these new bednets can save future children and families in Africa.

A new and largely fatal disease is emerging in Asia. It has already bought devastation to many families. Experts predict it could be the start of the next worldwide pandemic. In four out of five cases, bird flu, or Avian Flu, is fatal. The worst hit country is Indonesia where we met Suci a young girl whose mother died of bird flu. In 2006, like every year, her family gathered to celebrate the Muslim holy day of Eid-ul-Adhia, and while preparing a chicken for the family meal, Suci’s mother contracted avian flu. Within days she was dead. We follow Suci and her family as they attempt to rebuild their lives, and follow their struggle to cope when her brother Arif also catches the disease.

Vaccines are one of the greatest medical successes of the last 100 years. Three quarters of the 130 million babies born every year are now immunized against diseases which in the past could well have killed them. Vaccines mean we live in a much healthier world, where fewer children die or become economic burdens on their families. For every dollar spent on vaccines, it's estimated $27 dollars is saved in treatment. In Vaccine Hunters is a ground-breaking, four-part series, made for BBC World which examines the challenges, the developments and the science of modern vaccines. The series goes round the world to investigate what is happening in the most up-to-date labs in the world to find out what vaccines are being developed, particularly the holy grail - immunizing for malaria and HIV. One of the next major developments scientists are working on is to produce vaccines that could treat as well as prevent disease. New vaccines are highly expensive to produce. So who is going to pay for the next generation of life savers, including the cost of getting vaccines from the lab to the field? Vaccines are also big money. One prediction is that the value of the global vaccine market will go from being worth over £5 billion today, to around £20 billion in ten years. A staggering increase! Thanks to immunization diseases like tetanus, polio and TB, which were feared in the past, are fading from memory. Many millions of people have been saved by vaccine programmes. But there are millions more, many living in the most remote areas, who would benefit. It's estimated 8-million people a year die from diseases simply because they don't have access to the vaccine. Vaccine Hunters is an informed and comprehensive look at the world of vaccines today.
