Immunization of children worldwide is improving, but millions remain unprotected

The article discusses global improvements in childhood vaccination rates post-pandemic, but highlights that progress remains too slow according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. In 2025, approximately 90% of children received their first dose of the DTP vaccine, while 85% completed all three doses. This represents a slight improvement compared to the previous year, but global vaccination levels remain below pre-pandemic levels. The number of unvaccinated children has decreased slightly, but millions still lack protection due to conflicts, displacement, and poverty. WHO and UNICEF emphasize that many children start vaccinations but fail to complete them, leaving them vulnerable to diseases like measles. Efforts are ongoing in regions such as Gaza and Algeria to increase immunization coverage.

UN warns of cracks in global immunization system

The UN has issued a warning about the weakening global immunization system, citing issues such as funding cuts, conflicts, and misinformation as contributing factors. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, global infant vaccination rates improved slightly in 2025, with 90% of infants receiving at least one dose of the DTP vaccine and 85% completing the full series. However, these figures remain one percentage point below pre-pandemic levels from 2019. The report highlights that millions of children remain unprotected due to conflict, displacement, and poverty, with 13.5 million 'zero-dose' children not receiving any vaccinations in their first year. Measles coverage remains low, with only 77% of children receiving the second dose, leading to outbreaks in 57 countries.
