This article has been withdrawn by the editors because it drew heavily on three previously published works, “The History of Vaccines“, a website run by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, “A Brief History of Vaccines and Vaccination in India” by Chandrakant Lahariya [Indian Journal of Medical Research (April 2014)] and “‘Free’ Vaccines Aren’t Free Of The Foreign Hand” without acknowledging and attributing them in any way.
