A new report on immunisation suggests that confidence in childhood vaccines has fallen up to 44 percent in 52 countries coinciding with the largest sustained backslide in childhood immunization in 30 years, fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Confidence in Childhood Vaccine Dips by 44 Percent During COVID-19
Parents Need to Know: Are Your Children Over-Vaccinated?
