The Alarming Reality: Children Not Receiving Vaccines
The Alarming Reality: Children Not Receiving Vaccines
According to a recent estimate by the World Health Organization and UNICEF, over 14 million children did not receive a single vaccine in 2024. This is a concerning trend, as vaccinations are crucial for protecting children from deadly diseases. The report also states that only around 89% of children under the age of one received their first dose of the diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough vaccine. This is a major cause for concern, as these diseases can be life-threatening for young children. It is essential for parents to understand the importance of vaccinating their children to ensure their health and well-being.
