Hepatitis B WHO target for infants receiving scheduled vaccinations

Last updated on Thursday, 20 November 2025 at 03:30pm

Summary

Topic
Hepatitis-B
Category
vaccinations
API name
hepatitis-b_vaccinations_coverageOf3DosesTargetWHO

Rationale

This metric shows the WHO target of at least 90% of all eligible infants receiving three doses of the 5-in-1 and 6-in-1 hepatitis B vaccinations in England. Hepatitis B is vaccine preventable, and vaccination is the cornerstone of elimination. This metric shows the World Health Organisation (WHO) elimination target for coverage of the universal infant vaccination programme.

Methodology

The WHO target is used as a benchmark for comparison with national vaccination coverage figures.

Caveats

The WHO target is global and may not reflect local targets in vaccine programs. Differences in vaccine schedules may affect comparisons.
