Benefits and risks of childhood immunisations in developing countries
British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
|May 23, 1987
Abstract:
The ratio of benefit to harm from an imaginary, modest immunisation programme in a developing country and the numbers of lives likely to be saved and severe handicaps prevented have been estimated. Immunisation is much more likely to benefit children than to harm them, and health workers can be confidently encouraged not to withhold the benefits of immunisation from most children.
