"The COVID pandemic has disrupted many areas of routine healthcare including,
importantly, childhood vaccination.
The pandemic saw levels of essential childhood immunisations decline in more
than 100 countries around the world, leading to outbreaks of infectious
diseases such as yellow fever, cholera, diphtheria and polio.
There are many reasons for this, including issues with supply, restricted
access to services, and in some areas, factors unrelated to the pandemic such
as conflict. But one contributor that’s important to recognise and address is
vaccine hesitancy.
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified vaccine hesitancy as
one of its top ten threats to global health. It appears this threat has only
increased since the COVID pandemic."
