India’s Growing Vaccination Crisis - IAS EXAM
A recent global study published in The Lancet has brought to light a critical public health concern in India: over 1.44 million children remain “zero-dose,” meaning they have not received even the first dose of the essential diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine in 2023. India ranks second globally after Nigeria in the number of such unvaccinated children, underscoring persistent immunisation inequities despite decades of progress.
