Childhood vaccination coverage in the Caribbean has reached 95%, a significant increase from 92% in 2022. This progress was highlighted by Dr. Rhonda Sealey-Thomas, Assistant Director of the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO), during the launch of Guyana and Caribbean Vaccination Week 2026. She emphasized the importance of sustained investment in public health, political commitment, and the dedication of healthcare workers. While celebrating the achievement, Dr. Sealey-Thomas cautioned that continued vigilance is crucial to maintain these gains. She noted that some countries, including Guyana, Montserrat, and St Vincent and the Grenadines, have already achieved full coverage in certain childhood immunization categories. However, she also warned about the resurgence of diseases like measles in the Americas, with over 15,000 cases recorded early in 2026, surpassing last year's total. This underscores the need for robust surveillance systems, public trust in vaccines, timely access, and sustained investment in immunization programs. Frank Anthony echoed these sentiments, stating that Guyana has maintained vaccination coverage above 95% for most antigens, expanding access to remote communities. The government has invested in cold-chain storage, solar-powered refrigeration, vaccine transport systems, and training for healthcare workers to ensure wider coverage.
