摘要:Vaccination has made the greatest contribution to global health by saving millions of human lives and existence. Since 19th century a progression was seen towards the studies and research in the field of pharmaceuticals, especially vaccination. Due to some infectious diseases in countries in that century saved no option for the researchers rather than develop a permanent solution (vaccines) or life-saving drugs for eradication / prevention of the diseases. A vast decline was seen in infant mortality due to infectious disease after the development of vaccines. The development and deployment played a vital role in eradicating the diseases. Along with vaccination, self-hygiene, nutrition, proper sanitization and sense of awareness ideas emerged transforming the scenario of the world. Vaccination has made an enormous contribution to human and animal health, especially in the developing world. Mortality rate due to the deadly smallpox, measles and mumps was massive in the pre-vaccination period with up to a half of the population dying from the former during epidemics and measles was only a little less lethal in susceptible population. This review briefly describes some the major achievements of vaccination in past, the present scenario of vaccination contributing in global health.
