The WHO and UNICEF report that over 14 million children globally haven't received any vaccines, a four-million increase since 2024's target. This is attributed to factors like access issues, conflict, and misinformation. While progress shows 89% of infants received at least one DTP dose in 2024, 30 million remain unprotected against measles. Officials urge increased funding and efforts to overcome barriers hindering vaccination, emphasizing the preventable nature of these diseases and the urgency of the situation.
