WHO Warns of Vaccine Skepticism Threatening Global Child Immunization Efforts

The World Health Organization expresses deep concern over rising vaccine skepticism and diminishing development aid, which jeopardize global vaccination efforts. Millions of children remain unprotected against serious diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough.

Recent data reveals alarming trends, including that 14 million children missed vaccinations in 2024. Measles outbreaks are surging, with over 107,000 deaths reported globally in 2023.

The decline in vaccination rates highlights the urgent need for concerted action to protect children's health. Experts stress that reaching a 95% vaccination coverage is crucial for maintaining herd immunity and preventing future outbreaks.
