Abstract
Measuring routine childhood vaccination is crucial to inform global vaccine policies and programme implementation, and to track progress towards targets set by the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) and Immunization Agenda 2030. Robust estimates of routine vaccine coverage are needed to identify past successes and persistent vulnerabilities. Drawing from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020, Release 1, we did a systematic analysis of global, regional, and national vaccine coverage trends using a statistical framework, by vaccine and over time.
Methods
For this analysis we collated 55 326 country-specific, cohort-specific, year-specific, vaccine-specific, and dose-specific observations of routine childhood vaccination coverage between 1980 and 2019. Using spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression, we produced location-specific and year-specific estimates of 11 routine childhood vaccine coverage indicators for 204 c

While efforts to end COVID-19 has continued to gather steam with the successful roll-out of vaccines in over a hundred countries, the pandemic continues to hinder routine immunisation services, thereby putting millions of children at risk of deadly diseases.
The second round of a
World Health Organisation “pulse survey” revealed that over one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial disruptions persist, with about 90 per cent of countries still reporting one or more disruptions to essential health services.
The survey published during the World Immunisation Week 2021 in the last week of April (April 24th-30th) also highlighted the urgent need for a renewed global commitment to improve vaccination access and uptake.
Commemorating World Immunization Week, 2021: The RI experience of the PAS Project
As Nigeria marks World Immunization Week for 2021 celebrated from April 24th - 30th every year, it is important to highlight the use of vaccines in mitigating vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs).
1.0 World Immunization Week 2021
As Nigeria marks World Immunization Week for 2021 celebrated from April 24th – 30th every year, it is important to highlight the use of vaccines in mitigating vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) and to measure the progress of Nigeria’s journey for self-reliance. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the primary objective of the week is to emphasise the value of vaccines in preventing diseases that were hitherto perceived as life-threatening. This World Immunization Week seeks to highlight the importance of vaccines as a “public good that saves lives and protects health” whilst also allowing development. The theme of 2021 is “Vaccines bring us closer”.

Zeroing in on unvaccinated children: it is time for Africa to reach every child
By H.E. Amira Elfadil Mohammed, Commissioner, for Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development, Africa Union Commission
The continent and world at large is going through unprecedented times where investments and the gains in health security have been undermined. This year’s African Vaccination Week commemoration from 24
th to 30
th April, under the theme ‘Vaccines Bring Us Closer’, could not have been more timely, as the continent rallies to contain COVID-19, mitigate its effects and ensure that populations are vaccinated. However, focus should not be diverted from the routine immunization programmes across the continent. Africa is on a path to advance towards ensuring that children move from zero dose to full immunization, referred to as the immunization cascade. The immunization cascade is essential towards ensuring that our children receive a full course of both lifesaving vacc
