As noted by the World Health Organization (WHO), during the pandemic, there was an increase in vaccine hesitancy around the world, fueled by misinformation. Between 2019 and 2021, 67 million children worldwide missed routine immunizations.
The WHO warns that refusal to vaccinate can lead to an increase in the number of dangerous diseases among the population, including measles and diphtheria, and as a result, an increase in mortality.
Immunization saves millions of lives every year. Today, humanity has vaccines that can control and prevent 25 infectious diseases, giving people of all age groups the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.
