The Gates Foundation's 2021 Report Shows That Childhood Vaccinations Dropped During the Pandemic—But There's a Bright Side
The 2021 installment of the foundation’s annual, which details progress on 18 metrics related to global health, equity and sustainability, contains some good news and some bad news. Childhood vaccination rates have suffered during the pandemic—but only about half as much as the Gates Foundation originally predicted, signaling that many countries were able to restore regular medical services faster than expected.
“I still don’t want to understate it,” says Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman. “It takes us back to 2005 levels. That’s still a loss of 15 years of progress.” It was still not enough to make up for the dismal drop earlier in the year, but ongoing recovery efforts can still make a difference. “The great thing about vaccines is you can catch up,” Suzman says. “That’s where we hope we can still see some continued improvements and make up that lost ground.”
