For every child, vaccines
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (commonly referred to as Venezuela) is a country on the northern coast of South America.
For years, Venezuela has been facing a socio-political and economic situation that negatively impacted its social, economic and health indicators.
Since 2016, due to affordability problems, Venezuela has reduced its Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) to an essential minimum. It now only focuses on diseases most prone to vaccine-preventable epidemics. This means that pneumococcal conjugate, rotavirus, and influenza vaccinations have been discontinued and are now out of the schedule.Vaccine coverage since 2015 has been getting worse. This increases the risk of infectious disease outbreaks.
For example, third dose of pentavalent vaccine coverage dropped from 87 per cent in 2015 to 56 per cent in 2022, with more severe gaps in hard-to-reach areas such as in the Delta Amacuro and Amazonas states, where coverage can be as low as 25 per cent.
National measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage was 92 per cent in 2015, but only 68 per cent in 2022; polio vaccine coverage, bOPV, was 87 per cent in 2015 and 50 per cent in 2022, while inactivated polio virus (IPV) coverage was 68 per cent in 2016 and 59 per cent in 2022.
The reduction in vaccination coverage is remarkable, reaching a suboptimal coverage of all vaccines in 2020 and 2022.Coverage equal to or greater than 95 per cent was not achieved with any vaccine increasing the breach between the immunity and the risk of preventable diseases outbreaks already under control or eliminated such as yellow fever, MMR, and polio.
Vaccines are one of the most successful and cost-effective health investments in history with wider benefits that accrue across a lifetime.
To give every child a healthy childhood, UNICEF supports the routine immunisation programme, vaccination campaigns and cold chain strengthening in Venezuela.
UNICEF also provides technical support to the Expanded Immunisation Programme authorities to reach children and pregnant women in hard-to-reach areas and helps to strengthen the cold chain for safe storage of vaccines and raise awareness among fathers, mothers, and caregivers about the importance of complying with the application of regular vaccinations for their children.
Vaccination is the best option for preventing illness in children.How can you make a difference?
