Key Market Indicators
Jamaica is on track to achieve nearly universal vaccination coverage for one-year-old children by 2028. Current projections estimate that 99% of children in this age group will be vaccinated by that year, up from the current rate of 98% in 2023. This represents a steady annual growth of 0.2 percentage points. The vaccination rate for one-year-olds in Jamaica has remained stable since 1985, indicating a strong and consistent public health effort. On the import front, Jamaica's vaccine imports are expected to reach approximately $1.4 million by 2028, down slightly from $1.44 million in 2023. This decline reflects an average annual decrease of 0.5%. Since 1996, the demand for vaccine imports in Jamaica has decreased at an average rate of 0.6% per year. This trend suggests evolving dynamics in how the country sources its vaccines, potentially due to increased local production or changes in international procurement strategies.
