“Nearly 20 million measles-related deaths have been averted in Africa since 2000 thanks to increasing vaccination coverage, according to the first-ever detailed analysis of immunization targets on the continent.
The analysis, by World Health Organization (WHO) in the African region, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also found that alongside the 19.5 million measles deaths averted, more than 500 million children in Africa have been protected through routine immunization between 2000 and 2024.”
