OMS: niveles mundiales de inmunización infantil se estancan en ‎‎2023

Global child immunization coverage stagnated in 2023, reversing pre-pandemic progress and leaving millions more children unprotected. This setback highlights systemic vulnerabilities, particularly in fragile contexts where conflict and instability disrupt access to healthcare. The data reveal that a significant proportion of unvaccinated children reside in these high-risk regions, underscoring how geopolitical and social instability directly impedes public health outcomes and equity. The persistence of this coverage gap implies that isolated interventions are insufficient. Instead, sustained investment in primary healthcare infrastructure and community health workers is essential. Without strengthening these foundational systems, vulnerable populations will continue to face preventable diseases, demonstrating that long-term recovery requires structural resilience rather than temporary fixes. This report is crucial for open data because it relies on the Wuenic database, the world’s most comprehensive open dataset on immunization trends. By making granular, longitudinal data publicly available, organizations such as the WHO and UNICEF enable transparency and accountability. Open data allows researchers and policymakers to identify specific barriers, monitor progress in real time, and advocate for evidence-based resource allocation to close the global vaccination equity gap.
