WHO says the 2025 WHO and UNICEF Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC) will be officially released on 15 July 2026, with a public webinar the same day to present and discuss the key findings [1]. The estimates are described as the world’s most comprehensive and widely used immunization coverage dataset, drawing on the latest available country-reported data across WHO and UNICEF Member States at regional and global levels [1].
Why it matters: WHO says WUENIC helps assess global progress toward reaching every child with life-saving vaccines and highlights where coverage has accelerated, where challenges persist, and where setbacks have occurred [1]. That makes the release a key reference point for governments and health systems tracking vaccine gaps and targeting action [1].
Key insights: WHO frames WUENIC as a core evidence base for decision-making on infant and childhood vaccines across all WHO and UNICEF Member States [1]. | The release is paired with a live webinar on 15 July 2026 from 13:00–14:30 CEST, with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish [1]. | WHO says a recording will be available from 18 July 2026, signaling continued public access to the findings after the live event [1]. | The event is positioned within broader Immunization Agenda 2030 efforts, with a linked reference to global health leaders reaffirming commitment on 26 May 2026 [1].
Cheatsheet facts: What changed: WHO scheduled the official release of the 2025 WUENIC estimates and a same-day webinar to present the findings [1]. | Why now: The annual estimates are a major benchmark for global immunization progress and coverage gaps [1]. | Watch next: The July 15 webinar and the recording posted from 18 July 2026 [1].
