Most of the deaths were in India and Africa, where not enough children are being immunised.

Researchers guessed the number of deaths fell during that time period from about 535,300 to 139,300, or about 74 percent. The first measles shot was licensed in the US in 1963 and is now widely included in routine childhood immunisation programs in developed countries.
