Ann Arbor, December 22, 2020 - There has been continual progress in expanding immunization programs over time, but even before the COVID-19 pandemic, tens of millions of children worldwide were not receiving basic doses of vaccines. New research finds that there continue to be significant disparities in childhood vaccination, and poorer children from under-represented and minority groups in most countries are more likely to be less fully vaccinated with all the recommended immunizations. A special supplement to the
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, published by Elsevier, looks at the barriers and challenges that limit or prevent access to vaccines in vulnerable children.

Freshwater ecosystems provide important services to human societies, such as water, food, regulation of hydrological extremes, pollutant attenuation, and carbon sequestration. As freshwater systems are under pressure from human activity and climate change, a more complete understanding of these systems is needed to respond to the environmental changes associated with these processes.
Here Prof Kirsten Seestern Christoffersen and Dr Ben Abbott, Guest Editors of
PLOS ONECall for Papers on Freshwater Ecosystems, share their thoughts on the present and future of freshwater science research.
What are the most interesting scientific advances in freshwater science recently?
