Children and adolescents

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

• Human papillomavirus: increasing vaccination coverage among girls and boys and narrowing gaps between the two genders

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

People aged 65 and older

• Vaccination coverage generally very inadequate
