This is a list of vaccine-preventable diseases in children and adolescents.[1][2]

Globally, 1 in 5 children cannot access essential vaccines.[3] Childhood vaccination prevents 4 million deaths every year.[3] Better sanitation, access to health care, and infant nutrition, have also contributed to reduced deaths in babies.[2] The cost of vaccination is around 44 times less than the economic benefit it gives; therefore it is cost-effective.[2]
