UN: India accounts for 6.4% of global zero-dose kids in 2024
First India Jaipur
|July 16, 2025
India constituted 6.4 per cent of the global population of children who did not receive a single dose of any vaccine in 2024, according to a United Nations report.
The new national immunisation coverage data released on Monday by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF also highlighted that “India accounted for 49.2% of zero-dose children in South Asia”, as per statistics from the Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA).
The term “zero-dose children” refers to those who have not received any routine immunisations, including the first dose of the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) vaccine. This metric is a critical indicator of access to immunisation services and overall healthcare infrastructure.
