UN Report: Millions of Children Missed Vaccinations in 2024
A recent report from the United Nations reveals a worrying decline in global immunization rates. In 2024, approximately 14 million children worldwide did not receive a single routine vaccination.
This significant gap in vaccination coverage poses a serious threat, increasing the risk of outbreaks of preventable diseases.
The report emphasizes the need for sustained financial support and stronger healthcare systems to ensure that all children have access to life-saving vaccines, regardless of their location or socioeconomic background.
Inadequate vaccination coverage can lead to increased illness and death rates, particularly among vulnerable populations.
