Immunization

Statistics

State of the World's Children
Economic and social statistics on the countries and territories of the world, with particular reference to children’s well-being, are published annually in the organization’s flagship publication, The State of the World’s Children.  These same statistics can be found, organized by country, in the ‘Monitoring and Statistics' section of this website. 

Immunization Summary
The Immunization Summary is a statistical reference on immunization that is jointly produced by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO). It provides detailed statistics on the performance of national and district-level immunization systems in 193 countries and territories. The 2007 Summary is available in PDF, hard copy and on CD-ROM.

Childinfo.org
On the ChildInfo website, you will find UNICEF's key statistical databases with detailed country-specific information that was used in the end-decade assessment of progress and setbacks in implementing the 1990 World Summit for Children Declaration and Plan of Action. The site contains global and regional summary analyses and graphics of key results, in addition to new and revised data.

WHO-UNICEF Joint Reporting
WHO and UNICEF have jointly developed a standard questionnaire, the Joint Reporting Form (JRF), to collect immunization data at the national level. Every year, national immunization programmes complete the JRF and describe various aspects of their programme, including vaccine schedule, coverage achieved for each of the vaccines, reported disease incidence and variety of other indicators.  WHO and UNICEF jointly produce the best estimates of coverage from the data reported in the JRF as well as other sources.
