摘　　要：The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has put standard,routine childhood vaccinations at risk worldwide.The disruption in vaccine coverage has resulted in a negative impact on the health of children,with some races,ethnicities,age groups,areas of settlement,and parts of the world affected more than others.This literature review studied and examined the impact of COVID-19 on infant,child,and adolescent vaccinations.Retrospectively,the analysis showed a decline,delays,or interruptions in the coverage of vaccines during the pandemic and a decline in some countries'pre-pandemic and post-pandemic eras.Necessary attempts and efforts should be made for these delayed and missed vaccinations,as failure to do so could put children's health at risk.Thus,priority should be directed at instituting catch-up programs to support vaccine uptake and decrease the probability of acquiring vaccine-preventable diseases.
