Vaccination Coverage Estimates
Vaccination coverage estimates refer to the percentage of a population that has received specific vaccinations. These estimates help public health officials understand how many people are protected from diseases and identify areas that may need more resources or awareness campaigns. Higher coverage rates indicate better community immunity, which is essential for controlling outbreaks and protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, like infants or individuals with certain health conditions. Accurate estimates are gathered through surveys and health records, guiding policymakers in improving public health strategies and ensuring safety for the wider community.
