Number of children vaccinated in Uzbekistan in 2025 announced

In 2025, vaccination coverage against infectious diseases in Uzbekistan reached 95 percent nationwide, with 5.6 million children immunized with 13 types of vaccines. The figures were announced on February 24 during a press conference held by the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health on measures to ensure sanitary and epidemiological stability.

According to the committee, in 2025 a total of 2,434,900 test kits were provided for screening examinations for viral hepatitis B and C, which pose serious threats to human health.

In addition, between 2022 and 2025, 47,732 patients diagnosed with chronic viral hepatitis C were fully treated with medications funded by the state budget and supplied with the assistance of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Earlier, the World Health Organization revoked Uzbekistan’s measles-free status due to an increase in reported cases in recent years.
