Abstract
Over the time period, vaccination coverage for the first dose of MMR ranged from 94.0 to 96.6% and for the third dose of DTP from 97.9 to 98.7%. However, up to 32% (for MMR1) and 95% (for DTP3) of infants received vaccine doses delayed according to the recommended schedule. Although some improvement was achieved over the last decade, further efforts are needed to reach risk groups with delays, more specifically children vaccinated outside the baby well clinics, born from a mother originating from outside the European Union, children with a higher ranking or in families with a lower income.
