Note: Excludes 14 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Ecuador, El Salvador, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Moldova, Norway, Palau, Paraguay, South Africa, United Kingdom) with missing, incomplete, or inconsistent WHO/UNICEF – Joint Reporting Form (JRF) data for rotavirus vaccine coverages for Rota1 and Rota2-3.

a

Vaccine coverage for rotavirus vaccine and DTP reported to the WHO/UNICEF – JRF, 2016.

b

Lower Income Countries (LICs) defined as GNI per capita ≤ US$1,005; Lower-middle Income Countries (LMICs) defined as US$1,006 ≤ GNI per capita ≤ US$3,955; Upper-middle Income Countries (UMICs) defined as US$3,956 ≤ GNI per capita ≤ US$12,235; Higher Income Countries (HICs) defined as GNI per capita > US$12,235.

c

List of Phase IV countries that receive financial support from Gavi for new vaccine introductions from 2016–2020.

d

Includes the five (Bhutan, Honduras, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Ukraine) Phase III (2011-15) Gavi-graduating countries.

e

Country reported Rotavirus vaccine coverage estimates for dose 1 (Rota1) and either dose 2 or 3 (Rota2-3, depending on the schedule) for countries that have reported introducing the rotavirus vaccine into their National Immunization Programs by December 2016, data collected from the WHO/UNICEF – JRF, 2016.

f

Drop-out rate between the first and last dose in the vaccine series, calculated using formula: (Coverage first dose – Coverage final dose) / Coverage first dose) × 100.

g

DTP coverage for dose 1 (DTP1) and dose3 (DTP3) for countries that have reported introducing the rotavirus vaccine into their National Immunization Program by December 2016, data collected from the WHO/UNICEF – JRF, 2016

h

Percent difference between DTP and Rotavirus Vaccines for the first and last dose of the series. Calculated using formula: [(DTP coverage – Rota coverage) / DTP coverage] × 100.

i

Performance of delivering the rotavirus vaccine based on four indicators that evaluate service utility and vaccine access based on the calculated rota vaccine drop-out rate and Rota dose 1.
