en-us	Shutting down immunization services in the COVID-19 pandemic risks triggering a resurgence of diseases that can be prevented with safe and effective vaccines, warns WHO in the lead-up to World Immunization Week (24-30 April).   
zh-cn	世界卫生组织在世界免疫周（4月24日至30日）前夕警告说，在COVID19大流行期间停止免疫服务会导致相关疾病卷土重来风险，而这些疾病本可通过安全有效的疫苗加以预防。 

en-us	When immunization services are disrupted, even for brief periods during emergencies, the risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks, such as measles and polio, increase.  
zh-cn	如果免疫服务中断，即便是在紧急情况下短时期内，麻疹和脊灰等疫苗可预防疾病暴发的风险也会增加。 

en-us	Last year’s deadly measles outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which took more than 6000 lives in a country already facing its largest Ebola outbreak, highlights the importance of maintaining essential health services, such as immunization in times of emergency.  
zh-cn	去年在刚果民主共和国暴发的致命的麻疹疫情在一个本已面临最严重埃博拉疫情的国家夺走了6000多人的生命，这突显了在紧急情况下继续提供基本卫生服务（例如免疫）的重要性。 

en-us	Further disease outbreaks will also overwhelm health systems already battling the impacts of COVID-19. 
zh-cn	疾病进一步暴发还将使已经在与COVID-19影响作斗争的卫生系统不堪重负。 

en-us	“Disease outbreaks must not remain a threat when we have safe and effective vaccines to protect us,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.  
zh-cn	世卫组织总干事谭德塞博士说：当我们拥有安全有效的疫苗可保护我们自身时，疾病暴发决不能继续构成威胁。 

en-us	“While the world strives to develop a new vaccine for COVID-19 at record speed, we must not risk losing the fight to protect everyone, everywhere against vaccine-preventable diseases.  
zh-cn	尽管全世界都在努力以创纪录速度开发COVID19新疫苗，但我们决不能冒险，输掉保护每个地方的每个人防范疫苗可预防疾病这场战斗。 

en-us	These diseases will come roaring back if we do not vaccinate.” 
zh-cn	如果我们不接种疫苗，这些疾病将卷土重来。 

en-us	WHO is working with partners all over the world to accelerate research and development of a safe and effective vaccine and ensure equitable access for the billions of people who will need it. 
zh-cn	世卫组织正在与世界各地的合作伙伴合作，以加快研发安全有效的疫苗，并确保数十亿有需求的人能够公平获得疫苗。 

en-us	But even with an expedited process, development of a vaccine for COVID-19 will take time. 
zh-cn	但是，即便是过程加快，开发COVID19疫苗仍需要时间。

en-us	Precautionary measures are essential now to help keep us safe from disease, including diseases for which vaccines already protect children and adults. 
zh-cn	现在，采取预防性措施至关重要，这将有助于我们防范疾病，包括疫苗已经在保护儿童和成人的疾病。 

en-us	Too many people are still excluded from the benefits of vaccines 
zh-cn	仍有许多人无法享受疫苗的好处 

en-us	Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world had made immense progress in ensuring that children are vaccinated.  
zh-cn	在COVID19大流行之前，在确保儿童接种疫苗方面世界取得了长足进展。 

en-us	In 2018 nearly 20 million children worldwide – more than 1 in 10 – missed out on lifesaving vaccines, such as measles, diphtheria and tetanus.  
zh-cn	2018年，全世界将近2000万儿童（十分之一以上）错过了接种麻疹-白喉-破伤风等挽救生命的疫苗。 

en-us	Roughly, 13 million of the children have never received any vaccines, putting them and their communities at risk of disease and death.  
zh-cn	大约有1300万儿童从未接种过任何疫苗，使得他们及其社区面临患病和死亡的危险。 

en-us	The majority of these children live in countries with already fragile health systems, further limiting their access to essential health services when they fall sick. 
zh-cn	这些儿童中的绝大多数生活在卫生系统原本脆弱的国家，这进一步限制了他们在生病时获得基本卫生服务的机会。 

en-us	Measles continues to remain an ever-present threat, especially if vaccination rates drops.  
zh-cn	麻疹仍然是一种持续存在的威胁，尤其是在疫苗接种率下降的情况下。 

en-us	Current projections indicate that the number of reported measles cases for 2019 will be at least 800 000.  
zh-cn	当前的预测表明，2019年可能有多达80万人感染了这种疾病。 

en-us	In 2020 there are increasing concerns about another resurgence, especially if vaccination rates fall due to delay or suspension of scheduled immunization activities as a result of COVID-19.  
zh-cn	2020年，人们越来越担忧会再度卷土重来，尤其是如果因COVID19预定免疫活动延迟或暂停而导致疫苗接种率下降。 

en-us	Outbreaks of polio, diphtheria and yellow fever are also of high concern, especially in the countries least able to respond quickly and decisively to address an emerging outbreak, as seen in previous emergencies such as the polio outbreak in Syria in 2013.   
zh-cn	脊灰、白喉和黄热病暴发也令人高度关切，尤其是在那些最无能力快速、果断地应对疫情暴发的国家，在先前的紧急情况（例如2013年叙利亚的脊灰疫情）中便是如此。 

en-us	Maintaining immunization services during COVID-19 
zh-cn	在COVID-19期间继续提供免疫服务 

en-us	As the response to COVID-19 continues, countries must act now protect immunization services, in order to further minimize disease outbreaks and loss of life.  
zh-cn	随着COVID19应对工作的继续，各国必须立即行动起来保护免疫服务，以进一步减少疾病暴发和生命损失。 

en-us	This includes, facilitating urgent catch up programmes in places where services have been disrupted, ensuring strong supply chains, disease surveillance and trained health workers.  
zh-cn	这包括在服务已经中断的地方便利出台紧急强化免疫规划，确保强大的供应链、疾病监测和训练有素的卫生工作者。 

en-us	Caregivers should also make sure they continue to vaccinate their children in line with national policies. 
zh-cn	照护者还应保证继续按照国家政策为儿童接种。 

en-us	New WHO guidelines on immunization and COVID-19 recommend that governments temporarily pause preventive immunization campaigns where there is no active outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease.  
zh-cn	世卫组织关于免疫与COVID19的新指南建议，政府在疫苗可预防疾病没有真正暴发时暂停预防性免疫运动。 

en-us	But it urges countries prioritize the continuation of routine immunization of children in essential service delivery, as well as adult vaccinations such as influenza for groups most at risk. 
zh-cn	但是，它敦促各国重点考虑在基本服务提供中继续开展儿童常规免疫工作，并为风险最大人群接种流感等成人疫苗。 

en-us	If immunization services must be suspended, urgent catch-up vaccinations should be rescheduled as soon as possible, prioritizing those most at risk.
zh-cn	如果必须暂停免疫服务，应尽快重新安排紧急强化免疫接种，重点考虑风险最大人群。
