Achievements of vaccines • Eradication of diseases. Small Pox is the first disease to be eradicated thanks to vaccines.
– The last case of Small Pox was found in Somalia in 1977. In 1980, WHO declared the world free of small pox.
– Currently, the WHO is spearheading a Polio eradication program. Having missed the initial polio eradication target date of 2005, and again in 2010, polio will be eradicated in the near future.
– Other diseases that may become a target for eradication include Measles, Rubella.
• Vaccination save lives- The Lives of 3 million children are saved every year thanks to vaccination.
• Bringing under control, infectious diseases that were responsible for high morbidity
and mortality.– Measles was a major cause of mortality. Although measles is still responsible for close to half
a million death of children under five, Vaccination has had a major impact in decreasing morbidity and mortality since measles was included in the Expanded Program on Immunization (E.P.I) in early seventies.
– Diphtheria is currently a rare disease thanks to immunization.

Vaccines/Vaccination Paradox • VACCINES ARE NEEDED BY HEALTHY PEOPLE. HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE
NOT PATIENTS, THEY ARE CLIENTS. UNLESS IN DISEASE OUT BREAKS, PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL A SENSE OF URGENCY TO TAKE A VACCINE.
• VACCINES ARE AVAILED THROUGH CHANNELS WHERE SICK PEOPLE GO.
• VACCINES ARE ADMINISTERED BY CLINICIANS. CLINICIANS LARGELY
DEAL WITH PATIENTS WHO VISIT THEIR CLINICS/HOSPITALS.
– IN ORDER TO INCREASE ACCESS TO VACCINATION SERVICES, THERE IS NEED TO SET UP USER FRIENDLY VACCINATION SERVICE VENTRES. EVEN IF IT IS IN A HOSPITAL. IT NEED TO BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO CLIENTS.
– IN DEVELOPED MARKETS, LARGE QUES ARE SEEN IN COMMUNITY PHARMACIES DURING FLU SEASON,
– MOBILE VACCINATION SERVICES TO SCHOOLS,COLLEGES,COMPANIES ARE EMERGING.
