Overview

Randomized trial shows the impact of war on immunization continuity in Ukraine, indicating significant risks of outbreaks.

Key Points

  • To analyze how the war in Ukraine affects immunisation services and public health safety against vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • Evaluated immunisation coverage in Ukrainian refugees from a 2024 study
  • Analyzed the impact of humanitarian crises on vaccine availability
  • Identified specific gaps in immunity for diseases like measles, diphtheria, and hepatitis B.
  • Noted an immunity gap in Ukrainian refugees for measles, diphtheria, and hepatitis B
  • Highlighted decreased immunisation coverage due to war-related challenges
  • Documented a significant risk of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
