Article Synopsis
- The study examined vaccination coverage in children aged 2 and 7 years before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic to determine if any declines in vaccination rates were ongoing over time.
- It found a significant drop in vaccination rates from 2019 to 2023, with 2-year-olds showing lower coverage for critical vaccines like MMR and DTaP and similar declines observed in 7-year-olds.
- The results highlight an urgent need for healthcare professionals to engage with parents about the importance of keeping up with vaccinations to protect children's health.
