MMR vaccine.

Mina et al estimated that before the MMR vaccine, potentially up to half of all childhood deaths were associated with measles due to "immune amnesia" from the measles virus. A truly terrible virus. And the MMR vaccine is one of our most effective vaccines.
Theoretically we could eradicate measles if we were committed enough as measles only has a human reservoir. We eliminated measles in the Americas through vaccination.
