"Global Conflicts and Pandemic Cause Stagnation in Childhood Immunization Rates, UN Reports"

Conflicts and humanitarian crises have prevented 14.5 million children from receiving any immunization, with significant increases in unvaccinated children in countries like Sudan and Yemen. The UN warns that the international goal to halve the number of zero-dose children by 2030 is off-track, putting vulnerable children at risk of vaccine-preventable diseases. Global vaccine coverage has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and misinformation continues to hinder vaccination efforts.
