Resumption of childhood vaccinations around the world

Immunization of children around the world, which fell during the Covid-19 pandemic, is starting to recover but remains below the level before the health crisis, the UN said on Tuesday.

“This is good news. On average, countries around the world are recovering and getting closer to the level of immunization they had reached before the pandemic arrived,” the director of the immunization and vaccines department told WHO, Kate O’Brien.

According to the WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund, there were four million more children vaccinated in 2022 than in 2021.

“These data are encouraging,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement.
