According to WHO’s Health for the world’s adolescents report released today, adolescent deaths and disability from measles have fallen markedly—by 90% in the African Region between 2000 and 2012, thanks to childhood vaccination with measles vaccine. However, common infectious diseases that have been a focus for action in young children are still killing adolescents. For example, diarrhoea and lower respiratory tract infections now rank second and fourth among causes of death in 10 to 14-year-olds. Combined with meningitis, these conditions account for 18% of all deaths in this age group, little changed from 19% in 2000. Watch the video statement on vaccination of adolescents.
