Global funding cuts, led by the United States, have impacted the child immunization efforts almost as severely as the COVID-19 pandemic, the UN said Thursday.
According to Reuters, measles, meningitis, and yellow fever outbreaks are on the rise, and more than half of 108 low-income nations have reported vaccine delays due to aid shortages, citing the WHO.
In a joint appeal with UNICEF and Gavi, the vaccine alliance WHO requested donors to sustain financing ahead of Gavi's June pledge round, which requires $9bn for 2026-2030.
