The World Health Organization and UNICEF have raised concerns about a widening global immunization gap, estimating 13.5 million infants will miss routine vaccinations in 2025. This alarming figure is attributed to a combination of factors including ongoing conflicts, pervasive poverty, and increasing vaccine hesitancy worldwide. The lack of immunization leaves millions of children highly susceptible to preventable diseases, jeopardizing global health security. Experts warn that progress in immunization is slowing, reversing years of gains made in protecting children from illnesses like measles and polio. The agencies emphasize the urgent need to address these challenges and ensure equitable access to vaccines for all children, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status. Failure to do so will have devastating consequences for public health and child survival rates.
