We at AGC Biologics are celebrating World Immunization Week! Since the world's first vaccination in the late 1700s, science and immunization technology have made miraculous leaps and improved both life expectancy and quality of life dramatically. For example, polio cases – which often led to permanent disability and/or death – have decreased by over 99.9% globally since 1981. Without polio eradication efforts, including vaccination programs, it's estimated that more than 18 million currently healthy people could have been paralyzed from the virus1.
