Vaccines have made a major contribution to the prevention and control of communicable diseases. They are considered as one of the successes in medicine and a cornerstone of public health. They have saved, and continue to save, human lives and prevent debilitating and deadly diseases, reduce illness and have improved the health and life expectancy of populations. Vaccination has led to the eradication of smallpox, and is bringing us closer than ever to the global elimination of poliomyelitis, measles and rubella. It prevents countless deaths from many other diseases such as pertussis, diphtheria, invasive Haemophilus influenzae b and meningococcal infections.
