Since 2000, measles vaccines have saved over 57 million lives. But measles vaccine coverage has been declining for years, especially in low-income countries, where the risk of death from measles is high. Over 136,000 people globally died from measles in 2022 alone, mostly children. These deaths were preventable with just 2 doses of measles vaccine. Children everywhere deserve access to 2 doses of lifesaving measles vaccine.
