Immunizations were first given in the year of 1948. Edward Jenner is considered the first founder of the Vaccinology in the year of 1796. However, by the late 1940s, scientific knowledge had developed enough, so the large-scale vaccine production was possible and the disease control efforts could begin

It is the most widely used vaccine worldwide, with more than 60% of all children being vaccinated. The initial immunity it offers decreases after about 10 years. Several new vaccines are currently being
