This indicator reflects the proportion of children aged 12 to 23 months who have received measles vaccinations, as documented either through official vaccination cards or reported by their mothers. The data highlights critical vaccination coverage within this vulnerable age group, offering insights into public health outcomes and immunization program effectiveness. It serves as an essential benchmark for measuring progress toward health goals, particularly in regions striving to eliminate measles. Fluctuations in this percentage can indicate underlying challenges in healthcare access, public awareness, or policy implementation, thereby guiding stakeholders in identifying areas needing targeted intervention to enhance overall pediatric health outcomes and reduce preventable diseases.
