Sources Center for International Health Information (CIHI). Estimates were compiled from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF).

Definition Vaccination coverage rate for measles is the proportion of surviving infants who received measles vaccination before their first birthday. Measles is a contagious febrile disorder commencing with catarrha l symptoms, and marked by the appearance of an eruption of distinct red circular spots, which are slightly raised above the surface of the skin.

Notes Regional averages are weighted by the population under one year of age. Note that regional averages are higher in years for which there are no data for Haiti.
