Global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives in the past 50 years, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, adding that most of those to benefit were infants. That is the equivalent of six lives saved every minute of every year of the half century, the UN health agency said. In a study published in the Lancet, WHO gave a comprehensive analysis of the impact of 14 vaccines used under the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), which celebrates its 50th anniversary next month.
NAIROBI, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Large-scale immunization drives targeting African children have saved an estimated 51.2 million lives in the last five decades, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday.
