The study, which is published in the British medical journal The Lancet, estimates that the number of measles deaths fell from 873,000 in 1999 to 345,000 in 2005, due to increased immunization campaigns. The World Health Organization revealed that more than 360 million children aged 9 months to 15 years were vaccinated against measles during that period
