Measles - Nigeria Has Highest Unvaccinated Children Worldwide - WHO Report.
Measles - Nigeria Has Highest Unvaccinated Children Worldwide - WHO Report.Though there has been a substantial decline in global measles death, Nigeria still tops the chart of number of children not vaccinated against measles.
A new report published by the World Health Organisation indicates that 20.8 million children worldwide are still missing their first measles vaccine dose and more than half of these unvaccinated children live in six countries.
In a joint press statement sponsored by CDC/GAVI/UNICEF and WHO on the report, they noted that in spite of the substantial decline of global measles death, a lot still needs to be done.
Nigeria tops the list of countries with unvaccinated children from measles with 3.3 million children, followed by India - 2.9 million,Pakistan - 2.0 million, Indonesia - 1.2 million, Ethiopia - 0.9 million and Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, with 0.7 million. Since measles is a highly contagious viral disease, large outbreaks continue to occur in these countries including Nigeria resulting in some deaths.
