Abstract
Vaccination is one of the most effective preventive measures for reducing child morbidity and mortality. Over the years, vaccines have proven to be a highly cost-effective public health intervention, minimizing avoidable human suffering, reducing healthcare expenditures, and mitigating economic consequences such as lower productivity and lost workdays. According to the WHO, vaccine-preventable diseases still cause 1.5 million child deaths annually, primarily due to inadequate vaccination coverage.
