Name: Children 1 year old immunized against measles, percentage
Rationale: Goal 4 Target 4.A Indicator 4.3 Proportion of 1 year-old children immunised against measles
Definition: The proportion of 1-year-old children immunized against measles is the percentage of children under one year of age who have received at least one dose of measles vaccine. The indicator provides a measure of the coverage and the quality of the child health-care system in the country. Immunization is an essential component for reducing under-five mortality. Governments in developing countries usually finance immunization against measles and diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus (DPT) as part of the basic health package. Among these vaccine-preventable diseases of childhood, measles is the leading cause of child mortality.
