"Infant mortality rates have plummeted over the last 50 years. Globally,
they’ve fallen by over two-thirds, from around 10% in 1974 to less than 3%
today.
A recent study — published in
The Lancet by Andrew Shattock and an
international team of researchers — estimates that increased access to crucial
vaccines means that infant mortality rates are 40% lower than they would be in
a world without vaccines.
The chart shows the actual reduction in infant mortality rates with vaccination
(in blue) and the researchers’ estimates for a hypothetical scenario in which
vaccines wouldn’t have been rolled out (in red).
Based on these figures, vaccines are estimated to have saved 150 million
children over the last 50 years. Vaccinations accounted for 40% of that
decline."
