1987, 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.

Immunisation Coverage, Measles First Dose (MCV1), 1987 covers 160 countries. 4 countries share the highest reading, 99; Bangladesh is lowest, at 6. The middle country reads 68. Against 1986, 132 values changed (92 up, 40 down), 4 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.

  • 74 distinct values among 160

    Values are stored exactly as published. 6 countries share 78. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 160 countries has every column.
