One "successful" movement: anti-vaccination
Hindrance to vaccinate children is one of the vital threats to public health, resulting in millions of children either completely or partially un-immunized.
Refusal and hesitancy towards vaccination has become a serious challenge to the success of immunization programs. Vaccination is proven to be the most cost-effective intervention across the globe that could have saved 1.5 million deaths among children under five years, which constitutes 17% of child mortality globally, as reported by WHO in 2008.
