Data for 1981

Immunisation Coverage, DTP3, 1981

1981, as WUENIC’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This is the share of infants who have received the third dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. Three doses need three contacts with a health service in a child's first year, which is why it is the standard measure of whether routine health care reaches every child.

Immunisation Coverage, DTP3, 1981 covers 124 countries. 5 countries share the highest reading, 99; 4 countries share the lowest reading, 1. The middle country reads 46. Against 1980, 85 values changed (63 up, 22 down), 21 countries joined.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from WUENIC’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1981.

  • 69 distinct values among 124

    Values are stored exactly as published. 5 countries share 99. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 124 countries has every column.
