Key Points

Infants

• Measles: High vaccination coverage for at least one dose

• Meningococcal disease: high vaccination coverage against meningococcal C and rapidly increasing coverage against meningococcal B

Children and adolescents

• Diphtheria, tetanus, and polio (DTP): vaccination coverage decreases with age

• Meningococcal C: insufficient vaccination coverage among those aged 15 and older

• Human papillomavirus: increasing vaccination coverage among girls and boys and narrowing of the gender gap.

Adults and pregnant women

• Diphtheria, tetanus, and polio: low vaccination coverage for the recommended booster doses at ages 25 and 45

• Pertussis: increased coverage among pregnant women—58% vaccinated during pregnancy

People aged 65 and older

• Vaccination coverage is generally very low
