Manage episode 446774835 series 3341986
Is it possible to see how many lives vaccines have saved? We take a look at global and US trends, and also talk about the history of a deadly killer…tuberculosis. Find out what 2024 recommendations are so you can be up to date. Show notes with graphs: https://bit.ly/40ftEHd
We continue our series about deaths you don’t have to die from by talking about immunizations. There are behaviors that we have that can rob us of the chance to live out our full life span; in the United States this is considered 80 years for women and 75 for men.
We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. Immunization currently prevents 3.5 million to 5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, flu, and tuberculosis. Diseases we no longer need to get sick and potentially die from if we receive immunizations against them.
