Key takeaway Aunque ambos indicadores aumentaron un punto porcentual con respecto al año anterior, la cobertura mundial sigue situándose un punto por debajo de los niveles de 2019 y continúa oscilando dentro de un estrecho margen desde 2009.
Why this matters
The slow progress in global childhood immunization coverage has significant implications for disaster relief efforts, as outbreaks of diseases like measles can exacerbate humanitarian crises. The fact that 57 countries reported large or disruptive measles outbreaks in 2025 highlights the need for sustained investment in vaccination programs. The stagnation in measles vaccination coverage, with only 84% of children receiving the first dose and 77% the second, falls short of the 95% threshold necessary to prevent outbreaks. This vulnerability is particularly concerning in countries with ongoing conflicts, displacement, and poverty, where access to healthcare is already limited. As faith-based organizations and Christian charities play a crucial role in supporting global health initiatives, their efforts will be essential in addressing the challenges of vaccination hesitancy and incomplete immunization, ultimately helping to protect vulnerable populations from preventable diseases.
