More than 20,000,000 children worldwide missed out last year on vaccines against life-threatening diseases such as measles, diphtheria, and tetanus, the World Health Organization and the UNICEF children's fund said.
More than one in 10 children - or 20 million worldwide - missed out last year on vaccines against life-threatening diseases such as measles, diphtheria and tetanus, the World Health Organization and the UNICEF children's fund said on Monday., the U.N. agencies found that vaccination levels are stagnating, notably in poor countries or areas of conflict.
The report said this was too low, since 95 percent coverage is generally needed to provide"herd immunity" to those who are not vaccinated.
