Indicators for Health 2020

Indicators: 49
Updated: 17 October 2019

http://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/health-policy/health-2020-the-european-policy-for-health-and-well-being

Health 2020 core indicators were agreed by the WHO European Region Member States for monitoring progress towards the Health 2020 targets. Some of these indicators are based on official WHO sources and other are based on non-WHO sources, such as UNESCO and UNDP. Data from WHO sources can be accessed and queried at national level, while data from non-WHO sources is available in aggregated form, for groups of Member States.

Joint Monitoring Framework (JMF)


The joint monitoring framework (JMF) is used for reporting on indicators under three monitoring frameworks: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Health 2020 and the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) 2013–2020. The Regional Committee for Europe adopted the JMF in September 2018.

The majority of JMF indicators in the Gateway are linked to existing databases in the Gateway.

(5) 1.2.a. Percentage of children vaccinated against measles (1 dose by second birthday), polio (3 doses by first birthday) and rubella (1 dose by second birthday)

Information on immunization coverage is used for a variety of purposes:
• to monitor the performance of immunization services at the local, national and international levels;
• to guide accelerated disease-control initiatives such as polio eradication, measles control and neonatal tetanus elimination;
• to identify areas of weak system performance that may require extra resources and focused attention;
• as a consideration when deciding whether to introduce a new vaccine.
An accurate historical representation of immunization coverage is important to assess trends in immunization system performance, to better establish the relationship between immunization service delivery and disease occurrence, and to provide a framework for setting future goals for coverage achievement.

The percentage of children vaccinated against measles is the proportion of children reaching their second birthday who have been fully vaccinated against measles (1 dose).
The percentage of infants vaccinated against polio is the proportion of infants reaching their first birthday in the given calendar year who have been fully vaccinated against polio (3 doses).
The percentage of infants vaccinated against rubella is the proportion of children reaching their second birthday in the given calendar year who have been fully vaccinated against rubella (1 dose).
Data for all three are reported annually to and available from the Communicable Diseases Unit at the WHO Regional Office for Europe.

Percentage of children vaccinated against measles (1 dose) by their second birthday in the given calendar year.
