• Description:
  In the 50 years since MMWR became a responsibility of CDC, understanding has been enhanced of Diseases now prevented by vaccines, many new vaccines have been introduced, the occurrence of most of these Diseases has been dramatically reduced, and some challenges not previously anticipated have appeared. This article summarizes some of these changes over three periods: 1961--1988, 1989--1999, and 2000--2010.
  
  In 1961, children in the United States received vaccines to prevent five Diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and smallpox. Now children receive vaccines to prevent 16 conditions: diphtheria; Haemophilus influenza type b, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and human papillomavirus infections; influenza, measles, meningococcal disease, mumps, pertussis, pneumococcal disease, poliomyelitis, rotavirus infections, rubella, tetanus, and varicella (Table 1). Immunization coverage rates among preschool-aged children are high (Figure 1), and most Diseases have declined to Historically low levels (Table 2).
