Around 20 million children worldwide missed out on lifesaving vaccines last year – UN agencies
Congolese victims of ethnic violence prepare the burial of a child suspected to have died of measles at a makeshift camp for internally displaced people in Bunia, Ituri province in the Democratic Republic of Congo on June 25, 2019.
This all pointed to a "dangerous stagnation of global vaccination rates, due to conflict, inequality and complacency," the United Nations agencies said. Some 350,000 measles cases were reported globally last year — more than double the 2017 number, a "real-time indicator" of the quest to expand vaccine coverage, UNICEF chief Henrietta Fore said in a statement.
This has discouraged many parents, particularly in the United States but increasingly in Europe, from taking their children for their shots.
