Immunizations are the most cost-effective health prevention measures. Development of vaccinations had been cited by the U.S.
Public Health Service as one of the Ten Great Public Health Achievements in the 20th Century.(1) Vaccines play an essential
role in reducing and eliminating disease.
By two years of age, it is recommended that all children should have received 4 doses of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP),
3 doses of polio, 1 dose of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), 3 doses of Hepatitis B, 3 doses of Haemophilus Influenzae, type B
(Hib), and 1 dose of Varicella vaccine. This recommendation is referred to in shorthand as "4:3:1:3:3:1."
