The share of children immunized against measles in South Korea saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 97.3 percent. In comparison to 2021, the share decreased not significantly by 0.3 percentage points (-0.31 percent). Children usually receive their first dose of measles immunization in the age of 12-15 months, combined with an immunization against mumps and rubella. This combined immunization is therefore called MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccination. The second dose is usually given to children aged between four and six years.
Childhood vaccination rates reflect the percentage of children that receive the respective vaccination in the recommended timeframe. The age of complete immunisation differs across countries due to different immunisation schedules. This indicator is presented for measles and for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. It is measured as a percentage of children.The source does not provide a release date, therefore date given is date of access.
