The goal is to reach at least 80 percent vaccination overage as per the World Health Organization recommendation.

The graph below shows vaccination coverage among children age 12-23 months for all basic vaccines in Nepal where at least 4 provinces have 80% coverage. The vaccination coverage is the lowest in Province 2 (65%) and highest in Province 4 (93%).

The percentage of children age 12-23 months who received all basic vaccinations increases with increasing mother’s educational attainment, according to Nepal Demographic and Health Survey  2016. Vaccination coverage is lowest among children whose mothers have no education (68%) and highest among those whose mothers have an SLC or higher (91%).
