The world saw the biggest backslide in childhood vaccination in about 30 years during the pandemic, UNICEF says.
At the same time, the world saw the biggest backslide in childhood vaccination in nearly 30 years. About 67 million children missed out entirely or partially on routine vaccines between 2019 and 2021, UNICEF estimated.
But there are "worrying signs" that vaccine hesitancy may be on the rise in many nations. Fifty-two of the 55 countries examined saw a decline in public perception of the importance of childhood vaccines, the report found. UNICEF noted that "vaccine confidence is also notoriously volatile, and any trends are time and location specific," but the decline seen in many countries during the pandemic is cause for concern.Vaccine hesitancy is as old as vaccines themselves. Buttoday spread more quickly and have a wider reach than ever before.
In most of the countries studied, people under the age of 35 were more likely to report less confidence in childhood vaccines after the start of the pandemic than older adults, according to the report.
