Does malnutrition weaken vaccine effectiveness?
Original: Does malnutrition make vaccines less effective?
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is raising the question of whether malnutrition reduces how well vaccines work in children. The global health body highlights growing concern that undernourished children, who already face higher disease risks, may also gain less protection from routine immunisation. The issue matters for low-income countries where malnutrition and vaccine-preventable diseases often overlap, prompting debate among health experts on how to combine nutrition and immunisation programmes.
Why now: Health experts and the public are debating the link between child malnutrition and immune response to vaccines in vulnerable regions.
