Some 14 million children received no vaccines in 2024, the United Nations said on July 15.

The 14.3 million figure of “zero-dose” children was up by 1.4 million from 2019, the year used as a baseline, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund and the World Health Organization (WHO), but remained about the same as 2023’s 14.5 million figure.
