The bold value represents the column which was used to select the countries that are listed in the table.
a
Annual incidence is calculated as the number measles cases reported on the JRF [7] divided by the WHO population estimate for the associated country [11] (In Table 2d, the 5 year total incidence was divided by 5, to represent average annual incidence).
b
UNICEF/WHO estimate of 1st dose measles-containingvaccine coverage [9]. Numbers in parentheses represent country official figures on the JRF.
c
GNI = World Bank Gross National Income percapita, Atlas method [10] (†estimate from 2010).
