Tóm tắt :

5 p. Timely immunization to prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases is an important part of the public health response to the unprecedented influx of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants to countries of the WHO European Region. To clarify the role of national immunization programmes in protecting all populations within their borders, WHO, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a joint statement outlining general principles on vaccination of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants in the WHO European Region. The joint statement calls for timely and equitable access to vaccines in line with national immunization schedules and points to the need to close immunity gaps in host countries where vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, rubella and pertussis, continue to circulate. Most refugees and migrants arriving in Europe are coming from countries where vaccines are widely accepted and coverage has been historically high. However, young children coming from countries where immunization systems have been disrupted by civil unrest and war may be particularly vulnerable to these diseases. As a joint effort between the UN agencies and several divisions within WHO, the statement represents a good example of the broad collaboration required to address this acute and complex public health challenge in the Region.
