Trends of routine childhood vaccination status in Afghanistan over the last two decades (1999–2023)

Afghanistan's immunization coverage increased substantially until 2006, grew more slowly from 2007 to 2018, and declined after 2019. These patterns highlight the vulnerability of routine immunization programs to contextual challenges and suggest that sustaining coverage will require continued strengthening of routine services, monitoring subnational disparities, and implementing conflict-sensitive strategies.

Abstract

Afghanistan's immunization coverage increased substantially until 2006, grew more slowly from 2007 to 2018, and declined after 2019. These patterns highlight the vulnerability of routine immunization programs to contextual challenges and suggest that sustaining coverage will require continued strengthening of routine services, monitoring subnational disparities, and implementing conflict-sensitive strategies.
