Immunization term DALY?

related to assessment of immunizations

Disability-adjusted life years.

Estimates (tries to at least) the years of productive life lost due to poor health/disability.

The [world] bank defines the DALY (disability adjusted life year) as 鈥渁 unit used for measuring both the global burden of disease and the effectiveness of health interventions, as indicated by reductions in the disease burden. It is calculated as the present value of the future years of disability-free life that are lost as the result of the premature deaths or cases of disability occurring in a particular year.鈥?3

So I assume what you were reading refers to the number of years lost to illness that could have been prevented with an immunization
