Kids around the world are massively missing their routine vaccines, and the consequences are already scary! According to a new global study, a whopping 15.7 million children missed all routine vaccines in 2021 — a huge jump compared to previous years. This isn’t just a number — it’s a global alarm! The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health systems, but that’s not the only culprit. Vaccine misinformation is spreading faster than ever, and cuts in global aid are making things worse. For example, measles vaccination rates dropped in 21 countries, including wealthy European nations like Germany, France, and the UK. Measles outbreaks in Europe and the US last year killed 17 people and endangered thousands more. If this trend continues, we’re looking at new epidemics, hospitals overflowing with kids suffering from diseases we once nearly wiped out. Experts warn this is not just about individual health — it’s about global security. We urgently need to revive vaccination campaigns, fight misinformation, and rebuild public trust in health authorities. We can’t let millions of kids suffer and die from preventable diseases! So, what do you think — is the world ready to face this crisis, or will we let vaccination become a thing of the past? Drop your thoughts below, maybe your voice is the spark we need!
