In 1974, when the Expanded Programme on Immunization was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), less than 5% of the world's children were immunized against the six initial target diseases - diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, and tuberculosis - during their first year of life. Up till then, immunization programmes were largely restricted to industrialized countries, and even then only partially implemented. By 1990, and again in the most recent statistics (after a slight interim drop in coverage rates), almost 80% of the 130 million children born each year were immunized before their first birthday.
