Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enhancing vaccination coverage is the mainstay of preventing unwanted morbidities and mortalities from vaccine-preventable diseases. The current universal health coverage (UHC) paradigm emphasizes equity and low financial hardship in getting the health services that all people and communities need. According to the WHO, an estimated 19.4 million children under the age of one year did not receive basic vaccines. In this Special Issue, we would like to summarize vaccination coverage and combinations of vaccines against diseases that have an international public health impact and appraise the resulting decline in vaccine-preventable diseases burden and related health gains. Hence, this Special Issue will assess the global status quo with regard to vaccination coverage and successes in the prevention and control of vaccine-preventable diseases. This Special Issue will explore the unmet needs for vaccination coverage by various segments of the population including children and women.
