UNICEF: Regional Immunization Snapshots

2023

These immunization snapshot brochures published by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) provide key statistics on immunizations for each of the major world regions: East Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Eastern and Southern Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, and West and Central Africa. These brochures include data visuals such as graphs and tables to show coverage levels of immunizations against specific diseases such as measles, polio, DTP-3 (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis), and more in infants and children. For each region, the brochures show historical trends of vaccine coverage, cross-national and cross-regional comparisons, and tools to help users interpret the provided graphs and figures. Users can view the number of under-vaccinated children in each region and compare immunization coverage across countries within a region. 

UNICEF cites immunizations as the most successful and cost-effective intervention for preventing millions of deaths – especially in children – each year, thus emphasizing the importance of the GRISP framework and continuing to accelerate the progress of vaccination services and delivery.
