UNICEF India Director Yasmin Ali Haque warns of children s plight
COVID-19 exacerbates the problem
However, as access to health services and immunization outreach were curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of children not receiving even their very first vaccinations increased in all regions, according to the data.
Henrietta Fore, UNICEF s executive director said: Even before the pandemic, there were worrying signs that we were beginning to lose ground in the fight to immunize children against preventable child illness, including with the widespread measles outbreaks two years ago. The pandemic has made a bad situation worse. With the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines at the forefront of everyone s minds, we must remember that vaccine distribution has always been inequitable, but it does not have to be, she said in a statement.
