1987, 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, 1987 covers 161 countries. 7 countries share the highest reading, 99; Niger is lowest, at 7. The middle country reads 77. Against 1986, 132 values changed (102 up, 30 down), 2 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 1987.
67 distinct values among 161
Values are stored exactly as published. 9 countries share 85. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 161 countries has every column.
