LONDON - 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.
“Vaccines are one of our most important tools for preventing outbreaks and keeping the world safe,” the WHO’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in a statement. The report said this was too low, since 95% coverage is generally needed to provide “herd immunity” to those who are not vaccinated.
