1989, 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, 1989 covers 163 countries. 10 countries share the highest reading, 99; Niger is lowest, at 13. The middle country reads 82. Against 1988, 134 values changed (103 up, 31 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

One year of the 2025 release

61 distinct values among 163
Values are stored exactly as published. 10 countries share 99. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 163 countries has every column.
