#VACCINATION
Published on .
According to the latest estimates from the WHO and UNICEF, 13.5 million children worldwide did not receive any vaccines during their first year of life in 2025, nearly 750,000 fewer than in 2024. However, this improvement remains fragile: 7.3 million children received a first dose of the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine but did not continue their vaccination series through the first dose of the measles vaccine a number that is on the rise. Most of these children live in countries where immunization programs are supported by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, while cuts in international health aid threaten the progress that has been made.
