Among developed nations, those requiring the most neonatal vaccine doses tend to have the worst mortality rates in children younger than age 5, according to a peer-reviewed study published July 20 in Cureus.
Researchers Neil Miller, director of the Institute of Medical and Scientific Inquiry in New Mexico, and Gary Goldman, who has a doctorate in computer science, performed several analyses based on 2019 and 2021 data to explore potential relationships between the number of early childhood vaccinations required by developed nations and their neonatal, infant, and younger-than-age-5 mortality rates.
