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, 1988 covers 163 countries. 9 countries share the highest reading, 99; Niger is lowest, at 9. The middle country reads 80. Against 1987, 136 values changed (97 up, 39 down), 2 countries joined.

How values are stored

One year of the 2025 release

65 distinct values among 163
Values are stored exactly as published. 9 countries share 99. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 163 countries has every column.
