ポリオ撲滅のため、
新たなワクチン開発に向けた6年計画を作るとして、
さらなるワクチンへの投資を呼び掛けた。

どういうことかというと、
In order to reach the most at-risk children, the Gates Foundation has helped implement a satellite mapping technique, to ensure house-to-house vaccinators use aren't missing any villages or settlements. In some cases, they also equip the vaccination teams with cellphone GPS devices to record where they've gone.
"We take the GPS tracks from cellphones and overlay that onto the assignment, to make absolutely sure that they've gone where they were supposed to go, which helps get the coverage level up," Gates says. "The difference between 85% coverage and 90% coverage is the difference between not succeeding and succeeding."

それで接種率85%ではなく、90%をめざす。
