Abstract
The standard measure of vaccination coverage is the percentage of children who have accumulated the required number of vaccine doses, without regard to timing of the vaccinations. However, to maximize protection from vaccine-preventable diseases, the recommended childhood immunization schedule specifies ages at which each of the approximately 20 vaccinations should be administered during the first 18 months of life.1Keywords
