Infographic description

The title of the infographic is "Immunization coverage by antigen for children aged 7, 14 and 17 years, Canada, 2019 and 2021"

The vertical axis represents the immunization coverage estimate (%) from 0% to 100% by increments of 10 percentage points.

The horizontal axis represents all antigens included in the immunization coverage estimates: for 7-year-olds, DTaP, polio, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type B), measles, mumps, rubella, varicella; for 14-year-olds, hepatitis B and HPV; for 17-year-olds, Tdap and men. C.

There are two series of bars. The blue bar represents the immunization coverage estimate in 2019. The orange bar represents the immunization coverage estimate in 2021.

For DTaP, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 78.1% in 2019 and 71.9% in 2021.

For polio, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 89.3% in 2019 and 87.3% in 2021.

For Hib, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 80.0% in 2019 and 78.5% in 2021.

For measles, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 83.3% in 2019 and 79.2% in 2021.

For mumps, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 83.1% in 2019 and 79.5% in 2021.

For rubella, the immunization coverage for children aged 7 years is 95.9% in 2019 and 94.0% in 2021.

For men. C, the immunization coverage for children aged 17 years is 89.3% in 2019 and 89.0% in 2021.

There is a horizontal black bar at the 95% mark on the vertical axis representing the 95% national target for vaccination coverage for 7-year-old children by 2025. There is also a horizontal black bar at the 90% mark on the vertical axis representing the 90% national target for vaccination coverage for 17-year-old children by 2025.

Note(s): DTaP represents the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine; Tdap represents the tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis booster vaccine; men. C represents meningococcal type C.
