A. B. Sabin (1986) conducted a review in Vaccine-preventable diseases (poliomyelitis, measles, neonatal tetanus, pertussis). Annual national days of vaccination vs. Mere expansion of current efforts was evaluated. Annual national days of vaccination are proposed as a strategy to combat the estimated 400,000 yearly cases of polio and millions of deaths from measles, tetanus, and pertussis.
