|

<p>Many childhood health interventions can be attributed to NIH-supported research, and these interventions have saved lives and reduced the costly burden of illness. For example, in the U.S., routine vaccinations of children born in 2009 will reduce direct health care costs by at least $13.5 billion over their lifetimes.</p>
