- In 2025, 90 per cent of infants globally - or nearly 116 million - received at least one dose of a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) vaccine, and 85 per cent - or 110 million - completed the full three-dose series, according to the annual WHO-UNICEF Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC) released today.
