U.N. health officials have estimated that more than 14 million
children did not receive a single vaccine last year. The World Health
Organization and UNICEF said about 89% of children under 1 year old
got a first dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough in
2024, the same as in 2023. About 85% completed the three-dose series,
up from 84% in 2023. The agencies released their annual estimate of
global vaccine coverage Tuesday. Health leaders said the collapse of
international aid, led by the U.S., threatens efforts to reduce the
number of unprotected children. The U.N. estimates vaccines prevent
3.5 million to 5 million deaths a year.
