The vaccines saved the lives of 154 million people in 50 years

An extensive study published in the journal “Lancet” revealed that global immunization efforts saved an estimated 154 million people, or the equivalent of 6 lives every minute of each year, the past fifty years, and the vast majority of children (101 million children). The study, led by the World Health Organization, shows that the vaccination is “the greatest individual contribution to any health intervention to ensure that children see not only their first birthday, but also to live a healthy life to puberty.” Among the vaccines treated in the study, the vaccination of the measles had the greatest influence on reducing deaths to infants, which represents 60% of the lives saved due to immunization, and this vaccine is likely to remain the biggest contribution to the prevention of deaths in the future. Over the past fifty years, vaccination has contributed to 14 diseases: diphtheria, hypothetical B -type B, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, measles, meningitis A, cool cough, invasive pneumococci, polio, routine, mate, tuberculosis, tuberculosis, and yellow fever; Directly to reduce baby deaths worldwide by 40%, and by more than 50% in the African region. The malaria vaccines, “Kovid-19”, the respiratory virus, meningitis, as well as cholera vaccines, and Ebola used during the outbreak of the disease, are included, but the study says it will help save lives in the next fifty years. ‘The most powerful inventions’, the general manager of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanum Jibrisus, said that vaccines are one of the strongest inventions in history, making it possible to prevent illnesses for one day. Thanks to the vaccines, smallpox was eliminated, and polio became on the edge of the abyss. With the recent evolution of vaccines against diseases such as malaria and cervical cancer, “Jibersus” hopes to push back the borders of the disease, saying that “we can save the lives of millions of others today and in the next fifty years.” These profits in the survival rate of children emphasize the importance of protecting progress in the field of strengthening in every country in the world, and accelerating the efforts to reach 67 million children, they missed the opportunity to obtain one or more vaccines at the rate of the pace. The study also emphasizes that less than 5% of babies worldwide have managed to achieve routine reinforcement; After the launch of the Extended Immunization Program (EPI) about 50 years ago. Today, 84% of infants have three doses of pollen against screws, Tetanus and Pertile Cough (DTP), and nearly 94 million people have been rescued from 154 million people since 1974, due to the protection of measles in 2022, there are still 33 million children who missed the first boxes of the first box. There is a need for 95% or more coverage with two doses of measles vaccine to protect societies from the outbreak of the disease, and currently the world cover rate of the first dose of measles vaccine is 83% and the second dose is 74%, which contributes to a very large number of outbreaks around the world. Since the study covers only the health effect of vaccination against 14 diseases, the number of lives saved due to vaccination is a conservative estimate, and not a complete account of the effect of lifesiring vaccines. Society, economic or educational influences on health and luxury over the past fifty years have also increased the decline in the death rate; Vaccination for protection against more than 30 life -threatening diseases is found today. While the HPV vaccine, which is protected from cervical cancer in adults, is not included in the study, it is expected to occur a large number of deaths in the future, as the two countries are increasing the strengthening of immunization by 2030.
