Why it is important to start vaccination from infancy
Vaccination remains one of the most effective public health tools in human history. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over the past 50 years, vaccination has saved more than 154 million lives. The absolute majority of those were children under the age of five. Without vaccination, diseases such as measles, rubella, and mumps — which are still considered among the most serious and life-threatening infections — would claim millions of lives each year.
