This statistic displays the percentage of the world population that has been vaccinated with select routine vaccinations as of 2022. According to the data, globally, just 51 percent of people have had a last Rota vaccine against the Rotavirus. Rotavirus is responsible for an inflammation of the intestines and stomach and causes severe gastrointestinal and diarrheal disease.
Vaccination success worldwide
All around the world, vaccinations have been effective in reducing the number of cases and deaths of various communicable diseases since the introduction of global vaccination programs in the 1970’s. For example, between 2000 and 2021, millions of deaths due to measles have been averted all over the globe. The final aim of vaccination is to eradicate the disease entirely, as is the case with smallpox: no cases have been reported since 1978.
Under-immunized groups
Despite the success of immunization programs, there are still groups lacking the recommended vaccinations; this is often due to a lack of access or resources within a country or region, although under-immunization can also be a result of hesitancy due to personal beliefs. Individual rights involving compulsory vaccinations has also remained a hot topic over the years- for example, support for government-required childhood vaccinations has decreased in the U.S. since 1991. In order to further grow vaccination coverage, targeted strategies are needed for under-immunized and vaccine-hesitant groups using context-specific interventions to increase and monitor immunization rates.
