Japan's Vaccine Safety Measures and Impact
This actually happened in Japan. I think this is really interesting because
you look, you look at how these two countries behave towards
vaccines and vaccine safety in Japan has
done really some actions which are not followed by a lot of
the other western advanced health economies.
But when they noticed this rash of deaths in the 70s, they saw what they

did something about it and actually solved the problem.
Neonatal mortality decreased.
