He said that vaccination rates have declined to what they were in 2008, which led to outbreaks of measles, diphtheria, polio and yellow fever, calling on countries to confront obstacles that prevent vaccination.
Despite this, the World Health Organization hopes to declare the end of Corona soon as a global emergency, but it confirms that the virus was found to remain on the list of other infectious diseases.
