2 WHEREAS, Vaccination is proven to be a safe, invaluable 

3tool to proactively safeguard public health and prevent the 

4devastating effects of vaccine-preventable diseases; and

5 WHEREAS, Vaccination has averted over 154 million deaths 

6globally since 1974, of which 146 million were among children 

7younger than five years of age; and

8 WHEREAS, Vaccination has greatly reduced morbidity and 

9mortality by eradicating vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g., 

10smallpox) and has greatly reduced the incidence of infections

15significant decrease in incidence; and
