HPV vaccine
In the late 1800s/early 1900s infectious disease was the leading cause of death in America and average lifespan was in the 40s. The introduction of mandatory immunizations in public schools and advancements in medical technology helped increase lifespan to the 70s. Infectious disease is no longer the leading cause of death and has been replaced by chronic disease (long lasting/persisting diseases such as diabetes) as the leading cause of death.
