1,129,000. That\u2019s the estimated number of children\u2019s lives saved by childhood vaccinations in the U.S. over the past three decades. But the full story isn\u2019t just in what did happen; it\u2019s in what\u00a0didn\u2019t<\/em>. Measles outbreaks that never swept through kindergarten classrooms. Respirators never turned on for infants with whooping cough. Wheelchairs never needed for children paralyzed by polio. Just life, uninterrupted.<\/p>\n

Vaccines have quietly rewritten the story of human health, allowing children to grow up healthier than any generation before them. But because these vaccine victories are largely invisible, we don\u2019t always give them the credit they deserve. Despite decades of research and real-world results, doubts about vaccines have become more common \u2014 not because the science has changed, but because the social context has. Anxieties have been stoked and collective memory of these devastating diseases has faded. In the absence of visible threats, it\u2019s easy to underestimate what we stand to lose.<\/p>\n

To understand what\u2019s at stake when doubt and misinformation dominate, let\u2019s take a look at MMR, HPV, and hepatitis B, three childhood vaccines that have radically changed our lives.<\/p>\n

MMR (measles, mumps and rubella): The vaccine that changed childhood<\/h4>\n

Travel back to 1962, the year before the measles vaccine made its debut. Measles\u2014arguably the most contagious disease on Earth \u2014 was rampant, just as it had been throughout human history. Nearly every child caught it, and though many recovered, far too many ended up in hospitals with complications like pneumonia, brain swelling, or worse.<\/p>\n

For some, the effects weren\u2019t dramatic at first but threw curveballs later. People noticed that after a measles infection, they had a harder time fighting off other illnesses, even ones they\u2019d had before or been vaccinated against \u2014 a phenomenon we now call \u201cmeasles amnesia.\u201d In rare cases, measles lay dormant in the body and caused sudden illness or death up to a decade after infection.<\/p>\n

Then came the measles vaccine, turning an almost inevitable illness into a preventable one. By 1971, the MMR vaccine offered protection against two additional diseases: mumps and rubella. MMR is so effective that two doses prevent 97% of infections, and for most people, protection stretches across a lifetime. By 2000, measles was declared eliminated in the U.S., a major public health milestone.<\/p>\n

But recent headlines tell a different story. In 2025, the U.S. reported over 2,100 cases, more than in any single year since the early 1990s. What\u2019s behind the surge? Across the country and around the world, fewer people are getting vaccinated due to distrust, misinformation, and access barriers.<\/p>\n

Here in King County, relatively strong vaccination rates overall have staved off outbreaks, but some communities have lower coverage. Every case carries the potential to spark a wider outbreak. Measles is knocking at our door and looking to exploit any vulnerability, but we don\u2019t have to let it in.<\/p>\n

The hepatitis B vaccine: Protection from day 1 of life<\/h4>\n

Hepatitis B has an infamous nickname: the silent killer. That\u2019s because many people live with the virus for years, even decades, often not knowing they\u2019re infected as it quietly progresses and potentially spreads to others. By the time symptoms appear, significant damage may already have occurred, such as scarring (cirrhosis), liver disease, or liver cancer.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we have a highly effective vaccine for hepatitis B. The hepatitis B birth dose helps stop transmission from parent to baby and has had profound impact. Without it, 9 out of 10 infants infected during birth would develop chronic hepatitis B. Since the universal birth dose was first introduced in the early 1990s, hepatitis B virus infections among U.S. children and teens have dropped by 99%.\u00a0It\u2019s a striking example of how early vaccine decisions can protect health across a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Still, hepatitis B hasn\u2019t disappeared. Because the virus continues to circulate globally, it can re-enter communities through travel or migration. That\u2019s why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) continues to recommend routine hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns. The timing of the birth dose has been rigorously studied for decades and has proven to be both safe and effective protection against a potentially lifelong infection.<\/p>\n

The HPV vaccine: Proven cancer prevention<\/h4>\n

What if two vaccine visits could protect your child from six types of cancer? The HPV vaccine makes that a reality. Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is an incredibly common virus. Spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, it infects nearly everyone at some point. Most infections resolve on their own, but some linger silently and later develop into serious cancers, including cervical, anal, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and throat cancers.<\/p>\n

Since its introduction in 2006, HPV vaccine has led to an\u00a080% drop<\/a>\u00a0in precancerous cervical lesions among young people with cervixes in the U.S. A recent study of 3.5 million people confirmed that the vaccine\u00a0significantly lowers the risk of HPV-related cancers for everyone<\/a>, regardless of sex. With nearly two decades of monitoring showing it to be safe, effective, and long-lasting, the HPV vaccine isn\u2019t just promising, it\u2019s transformative.<\/p>\n

Grounded in science<\/h4>\n

The MMR, hepatitis B, and HPV vaccines are powerful examples of how vaccines have reshaped the human experience. Not through dramatic headlines, but through steady, reliable prevention. And these are just a few examples; similar stories exist for vaccines recommended at every stage of life. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than viruses, understanding both the past and the present reminds us of how far we\u2019ve come\u2014and why we can trust the science that got us here.<\/p>\n

In the United States, the path from scientific discovery to a widely available vaccine has been governed by one of the world\u2019s most rigorous regulatory systems. During every phase\u2014from early research and clinical trials to FDA approval to routine vaccinations in clinics, pharmacies, and doctors\u2019 offices\u2014vaccines are continuously studied and monitored to uphold safety, effectiveness, and transparency.<\/p>\n

Public Health \u2013 Seattle & King County is committed to honoring this process, making vaccine recommendations grounded in robust scientific evidence. We are dedicated to working alongside our public health partners to ensure vaccine guidance remains accurate and evidence-based. Federal priorities may shift<\/a>, but the evidence supporting the safety and immense benefits of vaccines remains unshaken.<\/p>\n
