Data are from the second pulse survey. The number and proportion of countries (represented by national-level respondents to the pulse survey) that reported disruption to the supply of (fixed-post and outreach immunisation services) and demand for vaccines are shown. A single status for disruption in a country was calculated on the basis of the majority of responses from those working at the national level from that country. Additional countries with subnational respondents only are not represented here. The number of countries with available data from national-level respondents varied by question. The total number of member states in each WHO region was 194 globally, 47 in AFR, 35 in AMR, 21 in EMR, 53 in EUR, 11 in SEAR, and 27 in WPR. AMR=region of the Americas. AFR=African region. EMR=Eastern Mediterranean region. EUR=European region. SEAR=South-East Asia region. WPR=Western Pacific region.
