12.7 million children in Africa missed vaccinations--UNICEF

Fri, 2023-04-21 18:40 — mike kraft
UNICEF: 12.7 million children in Africa missed vaccinations A new report from UNICEF says nearly 13 million children missed one or more vaccinations in Africa between 2019 and 2021 because of the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation has left the continent vulnerable to even more outbreaks of disease and facing a “child survival crisis." The report released Thursday confirms there was a global “backslide” in childhood immunization over those three years. That's the worst regression for childhood vaccinations in 30 years. Africa has the highest number of unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children.
