DID YOU KNOW?

A scientific study published earlier this year in The Lancet says that vaccines have saved 154 million lives since 1974, 95pc of which were children under five years old. The same estimates showed that vaccines have cut infant mortality by 40 percent globally, and by more than 50 percent in Africa. Death by measles is the most significant win, with almost 94 million lives estimated to have been saved.
