a

Assumption about future vaccine adoption.

b

High-income country grouped with UMI countries given vaccine use.

c

Schedule included second dose in year(s) in parentheses prior to the start of the continuous two-dose schedule that started in the year not in parentheses (if MCV2 introduced).

d

RCV phased in starting in year indicated (fully implemented in 2000 for Bolivia, 1978 for Federated States of Micronesia, 2003–2008 then 2014 for Morocco, 1981 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992 in Malta).

e

Nonmember state.

f

Campaigns used to deliver vaccine during prior years.

g

Introduction of two-dose schedule in the indicated year led to actual delivery of a second dose to children in 1973 for Croatia, 1999 for Denmark, 1993 for Norway, and 1994 for Sweden (i.e., second dose introduced at an earlier age in the schedule).

h

MMR suspended due to mumps component of vaccine in 1993, which impacted delivery of rubella component.

i

Dose at six months counted such that dose at nine months counted as a second dose.
