US EditionChild Vaccine Coverage Faltering_ Threatening Millions: Study
- A global study published in The Lancet on 24 June 2025 shows that routine childhood vaccination coverage stalled or reversed worldwide between 1980 and 2023.
- This trend results from factors including economic inequality, Covid-era disruptions, vaccine misinformation, growing distrust, and drastic foreign aid cuts from rich nations like the USA and UK.
- Almost 16 million children remained unvaccinated in 2023, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, amid rising outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, and polio worldwide.
- Prof Hai Fang urged strengthening routine childhood vaccination coverage amid potential aid declines, while Dr David Elliman warned of a "perfect storm" from geopolitical tensions and misinformation.
- Researchers call for sustained investment, countering misinformation, and adapting strategies to local contexts to avoid missing WHO's 90% vaccine coverage goal by 2030 and prevent more deaths.
