Abstract
Vaccination is one of the most effective investments in public health. It contributes to the significant reduction of diseases and long-term disabilities [1]. Thus, several vaccines have been used for several decades in different countries. Their main expected impact is to significantly reduce mortality and morbidity due to the infectious diseases they target and thus save millions of human lives.
