I LOVE/HATE THIS GLOBAL VACCINATION COVERAGE GRAPH

This video from Hans Rosling explaining what he loves with global measles vaccination coverage trends namely rapid increases in coverage observed in the late eighties and the fact that the world reaches only 84% of the annual birth cohorts. However, he articulates his hate for a) 15 years of stagnation followed by dismal increases in coverage observed in the last 20 years and b) the fact that the world still misses 16% of the global birth cohort (20 million children) annually.  This vide clip and many more from Hans Rosling are available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEkkoAE6oHo&index=1&list=PLSrgd_ElrrXcMZ1Nt8hTC2tj1psJ4-K5O
