Conflicts and lack of financing threaten the global vaccination of children despite 'minor improvement'

The World Health Organization announced on Tuesday that a million children have completed the three basic doses in the vaccination against diseases such as diphtheria, titanos and peer cough (known as triple vaccination), compared to 2023. Despite this progress, root changes in financing, global conflicts, and the increasing information about vaccines has increased by of forms form. Risk. “We have reached a very difficult stage, and it has become more difficult to make more progress to protect children from vaccines that can be prevented with vaccines,” said Kate Operation, director of vaccination, vaccination and biological preparations. According to the data released by the UN Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef), approximately 115 million babies, representing 89% of the babies worldwide, received at least one dose of the Tettanus diple vaccine and a toom cough in 2024, while approximately 109 million babies received all three doses of these vaccines. 14 million children without vaccination and the data said that about 20 million babies did not receive at least one dose of the vaccine, including 14.3 million children, who have never received a vaccine. She added that this number increases by about 4 million as the target of this year to stay on track to achieve the goals of the 2030 vaccination plan. The data showed that about 25% of babies around the world live in only 26 countries suffering from fragility, conflicts or humanitarian crises, but that they represent half of the non -resurant children worldwide. The number of non -bound children in half of these countries increased rapidly from 3.6 million in 2019 to 5.4 million in 2024. Opion added: “We saw clear indications of haven, and in other countries, stagnation in the vaccine coverage rates.” Despite the challenges, several countries have managed to extend vaccines against diseases such as HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, polio and routine virus. Data showed that 31% of world -qualified girls in 2024, at least one doses of HPV vaccine, were a percentage still far from the purpose of 90% coverage by 2030, but represented a significant increase as 17% recorded in 2019. “The good news is that we have succeeded in connecting the vaccinations of the souls to a greater number of children, but millions of children are still without protection against preventative illnesses, and that’s something we have to worry about,” Catherine Russell said. The decline in vaccination rates in Sudan in the same context said on Tuesday that the conflict in Sudan has led to a decrease in vaccination rates in the country due to the lowest levels in nearly 40 years. According to joint data between “Unicef” and the World Health Organization, more than half of the babies in Sudan – that is, at least 880,000 children – would have received their first dose of screw vaccine, tetanus and a cough last year, but they did not get it. Unicef Explained that the Vaccination coverage in Sudan has declined sharply since the conflict erupted more than two years ago, as the coverage of the Triple Vaccine decreased from 94% in 2022 to 48% in 2024, which is the lowest coverage in Sudan Since 1987. decrease led to the outbreak of polio, measles and other diseases that can be prevented with vaccines in Sudan, according to unicef.
