  abstract = {{OBJECTIVES} {S}everal studies have shown an association between vaccination and child mortality in developing countries. {T}he present paper examines this issue using data from a {S}enegalese rural area which has been monitored from 1983 to the present. {METHODS} {W}e analysed two birth cohorts, comprising 7796 and 3573 persons who had received either {BCG} and {DTP} (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) simultaneously or neither of these vaccines, and who had been followed from birth to 2 years of age. {T}he association between vaccinations and mortality was assessed by {C}ox proportional hazards model. {RESULTS} {M}ortality ratios for recipients of the {BCG}/{DTP} combination were 0.59 (95% {CI}: 0.46-0.74) for the first cohort and 0.70 (0.50-0.97) for the second cohort. {M}ortality ratios for measles vaccine recipients were 0.98 (0.75-1.27) for the first cohort and 0.87 (0.57-1.30) for the second cohort. {CONCLUSIONS} {T}he {BCG}/{DTP} combination was associated with a reduction in mortality whereas measles vaccination was not associated with mortality.},
