| Description |
Immunizations were one of the outstanding achievements of medicine and public health during the 20th century. Transmission of smallpox and poliomyelitis have been eliminated world wide and in the Americas, respectively. Measles, diptheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, mumps, rubella, and invasive Haemophilus influenzae B were reduced by 95-99%. Despite those successes, immunization programs were challenged during the 1990s by a resurgence of measles that highlighted inadequate immunization coverage rates. This Health Status Update reviews progress in childhood immunization coverage and trends in selected vaccine-preventable diseases. |
