More children in Indonesia are receiving lifesaving vaccines than ever before, according to a new report by the World Health Organization and UNICEF, reflecting a broader global recovery in childhood immunization since the COVID-19 pandemic despite persistent challenges, including vaccine hesitancy.According to the 2025 WHO/UNICEF Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC), coverage for the third dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine (DTP3) and the third dose of the hepatitis B vaccine (HepB3) both increased from 78 percent in 2024 to 82 percent in 2025.
By last year, more than 3.6 million Indonesian children had received the full course of both vaccines.
