In 2023, Bahrain led global measles immunization coverage for children aged 12-23 months, with a perfect score of 100%. Countries like Kazakhstan, Morocco, Iran, Belgium, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and others followed closely with 99%. Most European nations and numerous countries from Asia and Africa ranged between 90% and 98% in coverage. Countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom had immunization rates just above 90%, indicating room for improvement.
Year-on-year variations show both positive and negative trends. While countries like Barbados and Namibia experienced notable improvements, others like Sweden, Botswana, and Mauritius saw significant declines. Over the past five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) has indicated varied growth trajectories across different regions.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential improvements in immunization rates in countries with recent upward trends, such as Ghana and France.
- Challenges in maintaining or improving coverage in nations showing declining rates, including Sweden and Botswana.
- Impact of global health initiatives and funding on sustaining high immunization coverage amidst economic fluctuations.
