^*The year of MCV1 coverage listed is the year during which the SIA took place. Source: World Health Organization. (2015). WHO/UNICEF coverage estimates for 1980–2014. Geneva: WHO/UNICEF. Last updated: 4 November 2015.

^**Assumes that the weighted SIA coverage addresses the current gap in MCV1 coverage, i.e., (1 – MCV1 coverage)*(Weighted proportion of zero-dose children reached with SIA).

Note: “Zero-dose children” are defined as children with no previous history of measles vaccination.
