Here you will find global trends and total numbers in reported cases of vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) up to 2021. These data can help monitor improvements and identify gaps for evaluation. Country data are reported annually through the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form on Immunization (JRF). Reporting for 2022 is ongoing therefore global data will be available from 15th July 2023. These data show the latest WHO/UNICEF Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC) at the global level. They are based on data reported until 7 July 2022. WUENIC estimates include a Grade of Confidence assigned to each estimated data point. The current release of the WUENIC with data up to 2021 (released in 2022) includes estimates for WHO Member States, including those that did not report 2021 data. For these non-reporting countries, estimates were extrapolated from the last point informed by empirical data. Similarly, global and regional coverages, values were extrapolated from 2020 for non-reporting countries. Non-reporting countries represent ≈6% of the global 2021 cohort. WUENIC data time series are updated annually in July based on available reported data and survey results. Coverage data can help to identify gaps, and can be viewed globally, regionally, or at the country level by selecting an antigen to view the coverage data time series. These data show global trends in vaccination coverage by selected antigens over time. The source of the data displayed here is the WHO/UNICEF E...

Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the disease and how the virus spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by staying at least 1 metre apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently. Get vaccinated when it’s your turn and follow local guidance. The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols. It is important to practice respiratory etiquette, for example by coughing into a flexed elbow, and to stay home and self-isolate until you recover if you feel unwell. Stay informed: • • • • • All information on the COVID-19 outbreak • Get vaccinated when a vaccine is available to you. • Stay at least 1 metre apart from others, even if they don’t appear to be sick. • Wear a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible or when in ...
