Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore on children in Afghanistan

A 6-month baby receives a delayed vaccine shot at a community health centre in Beijing, China, on 26 March 2020. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the baby didn’t get her DTP shot when she turned five months old. “We were worried that a vaccine visit may cause infection,” said the mother. Provinces other than Hubei, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, gradually resumed full vaccination services that had been halted due to the outbreak.
