A report from UNICEF and the World Health Organization highlights that millions of children around the world are at risk for measles, one of the most contagious and severe childhood diseases that take the lives of hundreds of children globally each day. Last year alone, 21.9 million children missed the routine measles vaccination in their first year of life and 13.3 million did not receive their second dose, placing children in under-vaccinated communities at risk of outbreaks. There is a need to create more awareness of vaccination, even as the international vaccination week comes to a climax.
