“…The historic flood likely contributed to decreased immunization coverage due to inaccessible vaccination sites, destroyed medical records, and disrupted supplementary immunization activities (SIAs). Yet, this trend is not a singular occurrence as Figure 1 depicts a marked increase in measles cases to about 33,000 in 2018 corresponding to severe monsoon activity near Punjab [ 16 , 17 ]. Given this, over one-third of the country, or approximately 33 million people, experience severe flooding or monsoons every year, and while these events have been associated with increases in various diseases, the risk of measles does not share the same recognition [ 18 ].…”

Pakistan bears an incredible burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, and efforts to improve widespread immunization have been hindered by inadequate public health management following disasters and other health emergencies. Through a brief review of Pakistan’s health system, an understanding of routine immunization challenges is sought based on the organizational changes made to the planning and delivery of immunization activities. Further, recent immunization trends of measles, polio, and tuberculosis are examined in correspondence to health emergencies prompted by climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. The national public health response to each disease is discussed, and insight is given to how the devolution of Pakistan’s health system may have influenced the severity of each emergency. Focus is given to the potential immunization challenges and how they may impact future initiatives for the control of vaccine-preventable diseases. Although incidence rates suggest increased cases of certain vaccine-preventable diseases and disruptions of immunization activities following recent disasters, further studies may need to be conducted to establish a stronger understanding of the immunization trends noted within this review.
