Vaccines by Disease

One of the most effective public health interventions that supports a life course approach to health is vaccination. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) immunization prevents millions of deaths per year from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), such as influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, COVID-19, shingles, and pertussis. Over the years, vaccines have prevented countless cases of disease and saved millions of lives.

This page provides all of Vaccines4Life vaccine-based projects and studies, categorized by VPDs, including influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, COVID-19, pertussis, and shingles.
