Tetanus, measles, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, hepatitis B, yellow fever.

Iran states that it provided a range of vaccinations for diseases, such as tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles and meningitis.

Immunization coverage for TB, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and poliomyelitis in the year 2000 in Bosnia and Herzegovina was quite high (95 per cent), but lower than in 1991 (98 per cent).

In 2003, the latest year for which figures are available, coverage for three doses of the combined diphtheria pertussis tetanus vaccine (DPT3) increased to 76 per cent in developing countries, from 73 per cent in 2001.

The average per cent immunized against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2000 was 73.9 per cent, which is significantly lower than the 91.7 per cent immunized in the year 2001.

During 2000, the coverage by immunization with the aim of protection from TBC, diphtheria, tetanus, peruses, poliomyelitis, and morbil was quite high and amounted to 95 , which is slightly lower that it was in 1991, when it amounted to 98 .

For example, even as late as 1970, only around 5 of infants were vaccinated against measles, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, and polio. By 2000, it was 85 , saving about three million lives annually more, each year, than world peace would have saved in the twentieth century.

Vaccines have eradicated smallpox, pushed polio to the verge of eradication, and saved millions of children from measles, diphtheria, tetanus, and other deadly and disabling diseases. Thanks in large part to the power of vaccines, the number of children dying before the age of five has fallen from 20 million in 1960 to 6.9 million in 2011, despite a large increase in global population.
