Immunological Mechanisms of Vaccination
- A global study published in The Lancet on June 24, 2025, revealed stalled childhood vaccination progress across 204 countries and territories from 1980 to 2023.
- The decline resulted from multiple factors including vaccine misinformation, public distrust, cuts in foreign aid, COVID disruptions, and geopolitical conflict weakening vaccine access.
- In 2023, nearly 16 million children, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, received no routine vaccines, coinciding with outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, and polio in wealthy and poor countries.
- Jonathan Mosser described childhood vaccines as highly impactful and economical measures in public health, while Prof Hai Fang emphasized the need to enhance vaccination programs amid reductions in international aid, and Dr Elliman cautioned that simultaneous cuts to policies and funding could create a critical crisis.
- These setbacks put at risk the WHO goal of 90% immunisation coverage by 2030, requiring sustained investment, equity, and combating misinformation to prevent further vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks worldwide.

Immunological mechanisms of vaccination
Vaccines represent one of the greatest triumphs of modern medicine. Despite the common origins of vaccinology and immunology more than 200 years ago, the two disciplines have evolved along such different trajectories that most of the highly successful vaccines have been made empirically, with little or no immunological insight. Recent advances in innate immunity have offered new insights about the mechanisms of vaccine-induced immunity and have …
