South-East Asia is leading the world in routine immunization coverage. 🌏💉 At the Celebrating Immunization Success in the WHO South-East Asia Region side-event, hosted by WHO South-East Asia and @gavi, Dr Nilesh Buddha, Officer-in-Charge, WHO South-East Asia, highlighted a remarkable achievement for the Region. The latest WHO and @UNICEF estimates tell a remarkable story: South-East Asia now has the highest routine immunization coverage of all six WHO regions. The message was clear: when South-East Asia advances, the world advances with it. Behind every percentage point is a child protected from illness, disability or death. Behind every vaccine are health workers, strong health systems, reliable supply chains, community trust and political commitment. But the work is not finished. Vaccines remain indispensable during emergencies, humanitarian crises and natural disasters, when vulnerable communities face the greatest risks. @WHO thanks Gavi for its longstanding partnership with Member States and WHO to advance equity, country leadership and protection for vulnerable communities. #Immunization #VaccinesWork #HealthForAll
