Immunization, measles (% of children ages 12-23 months) by country

What this measures

Child immunization, measles, measures the percentage of children ages 12-23 months who received the measles vaccination before 12 months or at any time before the survey. A child is considered adequately immunized against measles after receiving one dose of vaccine.

Limitations: In many developing countries a lack of precise information on the size of the cohort of one-year-old children makes immunization coverage difficult to estimate from program statistics.

Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
