Measles cases in Indonesia have spiraled out of control, surging 32-fold in 2022 compared to the previous year. According to the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI), this surge is attributed to decreased child immunity.

However, the Head of the IDAI Tropical Infectious Disease Coordination Working Unit, Anggraini Alam, stated that measles infection rates can be prevented through sufficient immunization coverage, ideally 91-94%.

So, what is the trend of measles immunization in Indonesian toddlers?

Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows a declining trend in measles immunization coverage among Indonesian toddlers over the past decade.

Most recently, national measles immunization coverage among toddlers reached 70.14% in 2022. This represents a slight increase of 1.47 percentage points compared to 2021's 68.67%.

However, national measles immunization coverage among toddlers drastically dropped by 7.96 percentage points from 78.1% in 2012.

The trend shows that the highest national measles immunization coverage among toddlers over the past decade was in 2014, reaching 78.65%. Conversely, the lowest coverage was in 2019, at 67.32%.
