vaccination coverage

Population protection percentage

Vaccination coverage is the proportion of a population that has received a particular vaccine, usually expressed as a percentage.

Public health officials track vaccination coverage to assess immunity levels and predict disease outbreaks: Measles vaccination coverage in the region dropped below 90 percent.

High coverage is necessary for herd immunity to protect those who cannot be vaccinated.
