And this just achieved the target of covering 100 % of children by this vaccine. On

the other hand the proportion of children in the age group 9 to 59 months who received the measles vaccine showed a steady increase from around 92% in 2007 to around 96% in 2009 and to 97.4% in 2010 , this proportion however, dropped to again to 91.8% in 2011 with slight increase to 92.2% in 2012.
