The organization has issued a warning about the growing threat posed by both new and re-emerging diseases such as mpox, polio, and measles, particularly impacting vulnerable children in conflict zones and the world’s poorest nations.
Despite progress in immunization over the past five decades, with an estimated 154 million lives saved, UNICEF emphasizes that the fight is far from over.
Millions of children are needlessly dying each year from preventable and treatable illnesses, prompting a renewed call to action from UNICEF.
The agency is urging governments and partners worldwide to take concrete steps to ensure every child has access to life-saving vaccines.
UNICEF has stressed the critical need to strengthen immunization systems.
This involves investing in the training and support of community health workers, building public trust in health institutions, establishing robust supply chains, and expanding the network of vaccination sites.
Sustainable and flexible funding from governments, businesses, and individuals is deemed essential to achieve improved health outcomes for all children.
