We want to introduce you to three children: Marwan, Hind and Iman.
Their stories are powerful examples of one of humanity’s greatest public health achievements: vaccination, for every child.
A health centre. An immunization campaign. A camp for internally displaced people.
These are the settings where children like Marwan, Hind and Iman have been immunized for decades. Protected from disease, they’re far more likely to have the opportunity to thrive, the chance to learn and the ability to live healthy lives.
As you’ll discover in this State of the World’s Children report, it’s essential that we act now to make sure that other children just like Marwan, Hind and Iman aren’t left behind.
The world is facing a red alert for children’s health: Routine vaccination coverage dropped sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic. UNICEF’s latest report, The State of the World’s Children 2023: For every child, vaccination, explores the reasons behind this red alert and the steps we as a global community must take to make sure that no child is left behind.
