Bill and Melinda Gates announced today in Davos, Switzerland, that their foundation would donate $10 billion over the next 10 years to help research, develop and deliver vaccines to the world's poorest countries. The donation could save as many as 8 million children by the end of the decade, experts said. The new funds are in addition to the $4.5 billion that the Gates have donated to vaccine research and delivery in the past.
