Vaccine coverage
Vaccines are a powerful tool for saving lives and improving health, but their power can be diluted by gaps in coverage. We study routine childhood immunizations to understand and address these gaps.

15.6 million
children missed routine vaccinations with three doses of the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine from 2020 to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Only 99%
of measles cases and deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries; all of these could be prevented by vaccination.
Coverage doubled
globally for four major childhood vaccines between 1980 and 2023.
How can I download vaccine coverage data?
Our vaccine coverage data are the latest estimates available and may differ from previous estimates published in journals. After entering your email, you will be redirected to a Nextcloud folder where our estimates are free to download. The folder also contains a list of input sources that we use to produce our estimates.
What data are available?
- Global, regional, and national estimates of routine target-age coverage for 11 childhood vaccines for all countries for years 1980-present.
- Subnational estimates of routine target-age coverage for 10 childhood vaccines for 100+ countries for years 2000-present.
- Subnational estimates of age-specific routine coverage for the first-dose measles vaccine for 100+ countries for years 2000-present.
- Subnational estimates of age-specific coverage for the first- and second-dose measles vaccines combined from routine and supplemental immunization services for 100+ countries for years 2000-present.
