Important Vaccines and their Inventors:--
General information on vaccines:-
Until the twentieth century,
infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide and this is still
the case in much of the developing world. Immunization has played a core role
in radically reducing the incidence of many dangerous diseases. some diseases have
been wiped out entirely (example smallpox) or are well on the way to being so
(e.g. polio). Vaccines have saved many lives and will save many more in the
future, as new vaccines are developed giving protection against more diseases
