What do you know about vaccines and their effect on global health?
Each year, vaccines prevent 4-5 million deaths. It's estimated that an additional 1.5 million deaths could be averted each year if we can improve vaccination coverage. (source)
In 2022, 20.5 million children missed out on life-saving vaccines. That's 2.1 million more than in 2019 (due to COVID-19). (source)
“When looking only at costs associated with illness, such as treatment costs and productivity losses, the return was $16 for every dollar spent on vaccines. In a separate analysis taking into account the broader economic impact of illness, vaccinations save $44 for every dollar spent.” (Source)
According to UNICEF and WHO, 835,030 children under the age of five died in 2022, and the 2019 Global Disease Burden estimates that 41% of under-five deaths in Nigeria may be from vaccine-preventable diseases. (source)
