Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Stalled Childhood Vaccinations Raise Global Outbreak Fears
Caption: Stalled Childhood Vaccinations Raise Global Outbreak Fears. A major new study warns that global progress in childhood vaccinations has stalled—and even reversed in some countries—after decades of success. The COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine misinformation, and cuts to international aid have left millions of children vulnerable to deadly diseases like measles, polio, and tuberculosis. By 2023, nearly 16 million children had received no vaccines at all, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. But experts say wealthier nations aren't immune either—vaccine rates have dropped in the U.S. and Europe as well. Researchers say the risk of deadly outbreaks is rising unless urgent action is taken to restore access, rebuild trust, and support public health systems. The message is clear: without stronger global commitment, more children will suffer from diseases that are entirely preventable.
