† BCG coverage based on 156 countries with BCG in the national schedule; coverage for all other vaccines based on 194 countries (global) or all countries in the specified region. Administrative coverage is the number of vaccine doses administered to those in a specified target group divided by the estimated target population. During vaccination coverage surveys, a representative sample of households is visited and caregivers of children in a specified target group (e.g., those aged 12–23 months) are interviewed. Dates of vaccination are transcribed from the child's home-based record or from health facility records or are recorded based on caregiver recall. Survey-based vaccination coverage is calculated as the proportion of persons in a target age group who received a vaccine dose.
§ Number of doses to complete the HPV series depends on age of recipient.
¶ Number of doses to complete the rotavirus vaccine series varies among vaccine products.
