1982, as WUENIC’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This is the share of infants who have received a first dose of a measles-containing vaccine. Measles is so contagious that it is usually the first disease to return when vaccination slips, which makes this the most closely watched single vaccine figure in the world.

Read before you use

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 1982.

  • 62 distinct values among 110

    Values are stored exactly as published. 4 countries share 64. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 110 countries has every column.
