Vaccination Coverage
This index tracks the proportion of 1-year-old children who received their first dose of the measles vaccine each year, reflecting trends in early childhood immunisation coverage.
Scale: Share of one-year-olds who have been immunized against a disease.
Direction of Change
VACCINATION COVERAGE HAS BEEN HIGH BUT INCREASINGLY IN THE PAST DECADE
Vaccination coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows a pattern of strong early growth as the country emerges from the war, followed by two decades of marked fluctuation. After relatively modest coverage in the mid-1990s, rates rose sharply by the early 2000s, reaching some of the highest levels recorded in the dataset. Throughout the mid-2000s and early 2010s, coverage remained generally high, yet irregular, with repeated dips interrupting periods of stability. From the mid-2010s onwards, the trend softened further, showing a gradual decline punctuated by sharp year-to-year variations. But in 2016, we noted a dramatic dip that has since disrupted vaccination uptake, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Partial recovery in 2024 sends out signals that are difficult to decode, as updated records may show a different trajectory.

Note: In 1995, Montenegro, Serbia, and Kosovo were part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
1995 (highest → lowest): North Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
2024 (highest → lowest): Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro.
Conclusion
Overall, vaccination patterns demonstrate that, despite historically strong coverage, long-term consistency has weakened, leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina more exposed to periodic declines in immunisation resilience.
