Measles immunization coverage for children in India increased significantly from 83% in 2013 to 95% in 2023. The year-on-year variation showcased notable periods of growth, particularly between 2013–2019, with compound annual growth rates (CAGR) reflecting steady increments. A dip occurred in 2020, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing an anomalous -6.32% year-on-year decline. Following this, the coverage rebounded to 95% in 2022 and stabilized through 2023.
Future trends to watch for:
- Sustained immunization coverage at 95% from 2024 through 2028, indicating stabilized high coverage rates.
- The impact of governmental policies and continued public health efforts on maintaining or potentially increasing the immunization coverage.
- The influence of new vaccination campaigns or alterations in health infrastructure on future immunization trends.
