Two routine vaccine coverage measures across East Africa

Rwanda’s 2024 estimates reached 98% for the third DTP dose and 97% for the first measles-containing dose in the World Bank extract. Somalia was at 70% and 64%. Tanzania had slightly higher estimated measles coverage than DTP coverage.

WHO and UNICEF, third-dose DTP coverage via World Bank indicators

Each figure describes a separate dose milestone

The DTP measure counts estimated coverage of the third dose in the series. The measles measure gives estimated coverage of the first measles-containing dose. The WHO and UNICEF series combines country reports, surveys and contextual evidence in its estimates. Source 4 Source 3 Source 2

The gap went in both directions

Kenya’s third-dose DTP estimate was 91% and first measles dose estimate 88% in 2024. Uganda’s were 91% and 90%. In Tanzania the first measles dose was estimated at 84%, one point above its 83% DTP figure. Source 1 Source 2

Historical change varies by country and measure

In the extract, Ethiopia’s estimates rose from 62% for DTP and 56% for measles in 2015 to 73% and 72% in 2024. Burundi’s estimates fell from 94% and 93% to 89% and 86%. WHO and UNICEF can revise earlier observations as new data become available. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3

The two percentages do not follow individual children

Subtracting measles coverage from DTP coverage gives a difference between national estimates. It does not count children who received one vaccine and missed another. The series displayed ends in 2024 for this extract. More recent WHO and UNICEF releases may use revised data. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
