The 20 countries where the smallest share of young children are vaccinated against measles in 2024. Montenegro is lowest at 23%, followed by Central African Republic at 41% and Yemen at 41%. The figure covers children aged 12 to 23 months. Data covers 192 countries.
✨ AI Insight

Herd immunity for measles requires roughly 95% coverage. 67 of the 192 countries measured reach that level, while 23 are below 70%; the median country sits at 90%. Montenegro is the only European country in this bottom 20 and the figure is not a one-off - its coverage has fallen every few years from 64% in 2015 to 23% now, driven by vaccine refusal rather than lack of supply.
