“…Las vacunaciones en las escuelas se han suspendido y solo se ha mantenido, en general, la cobertura de la vacuna frente al tétanos, la difteria y la tosferina en las embarazadas. La disminución ha sido más manifiesta para las vacunas no financiadas: la primera dosis de vacuna antimeningocócica B disminuyó un 68,4% en la Comunidad Valenciana, y en Andalucía se observó un descenso de las dosis totales de esta vacuna (39%) y de la del rotavirus (18%) 34 .…”

“…[Jarchow-MacDonald 2021] In Spain, a review of data from Autonomous Communities reported that vaccination coverage in all communities decreased by between 5% and 60%, depending on the age and type of vaccine. The first dose of meningococcal vaccine B decreased by 68.4% in the Valencian Community, and Andalusia observed a 39% decrease in the total doses of this vaccine [Moraga-Llop FA 2020]. In Portugal, survey responses for 19,745 children reported that 21.6% of planned vaccinations were missed.…”

Background Vaccines are highly effective for preventing a range of childhood infections. However, there have been concerns about an alarming decline in vaccinations in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We performed a rapid review for studies that assessed childhood vaccination uptake during restrictive phases of the covid-19 pandemic. Results We found 35 published studies that compared changes in the pattern of childhood vaccinations before and during the pandemic. Thirteen were surveys; two mixed-methods surveys and interviews, three modelling studies and 17 retrospective cohort studies with historical controls. We also included ten reports by national or international agencies that had original data on vaccination uptake. Significant global disruptions to vaccine services were reported in Africa, Asia, America (including Latin America and the Caribbean) and Europe. We also found evidence of significant disruption to vaccine uptake for diphtheria tetanus pertussis, BCG, measles and polio. Countries, where vaccination rates were already suboptimal, had greater drops in uptake and there was evidence of smaller declines in younger children compared to older children. Children born to women who could not read and write were more likely to have an incompletely immunized child. Various initiatives were used to drive up vaccination rates post restrictions. Conclusions Obstacles to the delivery of vaccination services during the COVID-19 pandemic drove down immunisation rates, especially in disadvantaged people and poorer countries.

“…The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GABI) warned that at least 80 million children under the age of 1 year were at risk of contracting vaccine preventable diseases during the pandemic. 7 The WHO developed guiding principles of immunization services and priorities to strengthen and sustain primary healthcare, including routine immunization during this rapidly growing pandemic. 8…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic, declared by the World Health Organization as a public health international emergency concern in March 2020, has caused serious impacts on individuals, families, communities, and societies across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic not only disrupted the health systems and the economy, but also significantly impacted routine immunization programs. Aim To study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the routine immunization coverage program in the province of Laghman, Afghanistan. Methods A comparative cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to understand the impact of COVID-19 on routine childhood immunization during the study period. Secondary data was used from the Ministry of Health from April to July 2020 and compared with the historical data of the same period in 2019. Student t -test was used to test the association between the mean changes in the daily immunization coverage. A p -value<0.05 was considered as statistically significant with 95% confidence interval. Results There was a 21.4% significant ( p <0.01) decline in the total immunization coverage during April–July 2020 compared to April–July 2019. This reduction was diverse across all districts and all vaccine antigens. The most affected district was Alingar, and the most affected vaccines were measles and OPV4, with 28% declines, followed by PCV3 at 26%, and DPT3, IPV, OPV3, PCV2 and rotavirus at 23%. The outreach vaccination coverage declined by 56.1% compared to the fixed, at 13.4%. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic seriously affected the routine immunization in Afghanistan. On average, 325 children per day missed out on a lifesaving vaccine in Laghman province which put them at risk of getting preventable diseases. To provide access to routine immunization during pandemics, the study suggests a set of customized interventions to strengthen and sustain routine immunization.
