6. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Ann Lindstrand, Unit Head, Essential Programme on Immunization, World Health Organization (WHO): So, the COVID-19 pandemic has set us back a decade when it comes to the progress reached by childhood immunization. The coverage rate of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis has decreased by three per cent, from 86 to 83 per cent. This means that we are missing out on lifesaving immunization for 23 million kids, and 17 million of those have not even been reached by one single vaccine.
