DTP third-dose and measles second-dose coverage; percent of target children, 2024.
Afghanistan’s childhood vaccination coverage differed across two major vaccine milestones in 2024. Coverage was 59% for the third diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis dose and 44% for the second measles-containing vaccine dose. The gap between the two measures was 15 percentage points. Both rates were below universal coverage.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Third dose of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine | 59% | 2024 |
| 2 | Second measles-containing vaccine dose | 44% | 2024 |

Evidence: Provides 2024 national coverage for the second measles dose and third DTP dose.
Coverage denominators are the corresponding national target-child populations for each vaccine dose. The two rates do not form a composition.
The two 2024 WHO vaccination-coverage observations are retained without cross-source adjustment. The percentage-point gap is the difference between the DTP third-dose and measles second-dose rates.
Both observations use WHO national coverage measures for Afghanistan in 2024 and the same percent unit, with different vaccine-dose definitions.
