💨 Abstract

The article discusses a global health concern: over 14 million children missed vaccines in 2024, similar to 2023, due partly to reduced international aid and misinformation. About 89% of children received the DTP/Pentavalent vaccine, but coverage remains unequal, with nine countries accounting for over half of unvaccinated children. Measles outbreaks are surging, with the U.S. and Europe experiencing significant cases.
