World Pediatrics 2019:An overview on immunization concerns in Albania

Background: In our country immunization rates have shown regress in recent years from 94% in 2008-2009 to 75% in 2017-2018 according to Albania Demographic and Health Survey 2017-2018. This decline in immunization rates has led to Measles epidemics we have seen in the last decade. The “Vaccine hesitancy” phenomenon is becoming a concern in our country and is highly contributing to the decrease in the immunization rates.
