Measles moves fast. More than 60% of the 21.5 million children who did not receive one dose of measles vaccine in 2013 came from only 6 countries: India: 6.4M | Nigeria: 2.7M | Pakistan: 1.7M | Ethiopia: 1.1M | Indonesia: 0.7M | DR Congo: 0.7M Most deaths due to measles occur in developing countries. 70% of measles deaths in 2013 were in the 6 countries listed above. Failure to vaccinate children against measles puts them at serious risk of severe health complications, such as pneumonia, diarrhea, brain damage, blindness. It costs about $1 to vaccinate a child against both measles and rubella at the same time in most low-income countries. Let's move faster.
