Childhood vaccine hesitancy worldwide 2025, by age
A global survey in 2025 found that while the *** of respondents would give (or gave) their children all vaccines, percent would give (or gave) no vaccines to their children. The younger the respondent, the less certain they were about childhood vaccines. This likely contributes to the rise in vaccine hesitancy, which could have serious public health repurcussions.
