Now you have come to the page, Choose variable. This page give you the oportunity to select which variables and values you want to display in your result of the table. A variable is a property of a statistical unit. The page is divided into several boxes, one for each variable, where you can select values by click to highlight one or more values. It always starts with the statistics variable which is the main value counted in the table.

Obs:

The statistics are part of Swedens official statistics up to and including the statistical year 2022. Statistics for the previous year (2021) have been produced according to similar quality requirements but have not been approved. Read more about this in the quality declaration.

Statistics for 2021 and onwards have the national vaccination register (NVR) as their data source. These statistics are not comparable with previous statistics (statistical years 2002-2020) since the collection process and statistical basis are different.
GENERAL
Age refers to the age on 31 December of the year to which the statistics apply. The proportion of vaccinated persons according to the national vaccination register is calculated with the number of registered children born in a certain year with vaccinations registered in the NVR in the numerator and the total number of registered children born in a certain year (population statistics on 31 December according to Statistics Sweden) in the denominator. According to the Act (2012:453) on registers of national vaccination programmes etc., all vaccinations given within national vaccination programmes must be registered in the NVR. Statistics are updated annually. DEFINITIONS
Vaccination coverage is reported for children of the following ages and for the vaccinations: 1 year-olds:
Rotavirus, at least 1 dose - the proportion of children vaccinated against rotavirus with at least 1 dose.
Rotavirus, 2 doses - the proportion of children vaccinated against rotavirus with 2 doses. 2 year-olds:
DTP-polio-Hib-HepB, at least 1 dose - the proportion of children vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B with at least 1 dose.
DTP-polio-Hib-HepB, 3 doses - the proportion of children vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B with 3 doses. Children who have one registered dose given from the age for dose 3 according to the schedule are assumed to have been vaccinated with 3 doses.
Pneumococcal disease, at least 1 dose - the proportion of children vaccinated against pneumococcal disease with at least 1 dose.
Pneumococcal disease, 3 doses - the proportion of children vaccinated against pneumococcal disease with 3 doses. Children who have one registered dose given from the age for dose 3 according to the schedule are assumed to have been vaccinated with 3 doses.
MMR, dose 1 - the proportion of children vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). One dose given from the age of 12 months counts as dose 1. 6 year-olds:
DTP-polio, dose 4 - the proportion of children vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio (DTP-polio). A vaccination given from the age of 4 is assumed to be dose 4 according to the schedule for the childhood vaccination programme. 9 year-olds:
MMR, dose 2 - the proportion of children vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. A vaccination given from the age of 5 is assumed to be dose 2 according to the schedule for the childhood vaccination programme. 12 year-olds:
HPV, at least 1 dose - the proportion of children vaccinated against HPV with at least 1 dose. Reported by gender.
HPV, 2 doses - the proportion of children vaccinated against HPV with 2 doses. Reported by gender. 16 year-olds:
DTP, dose 5 - the proportion of adolescents vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (DTP). A vaccination given from the age of 14 is assumed to be dose 5 according to the schedule for the childhood vaccination programme. SOURCES OF ERROR
There is under-reporting of vaccinations within the child vaccination programme, which means that not all vaccinations carried out in Sweden are reported to the NVR. Relatively low coverage rates in some municipalities and regions are usually a result of this.
Under-reporting is explained by e.g.:
• The occurrence of manual reporting (parallel to record-keeping)
• Gaps when changing the record system
• Local problems with transferring data from the record system to the NVR
• Deficiencies in procedures Only vaccinations given in Sweden should be recorded in the NVR. Therefore, vaccinations which children have received in other countries are not shown in the statistics. In addition, the NVR statistics only include vaccinations given to children with Swedish personal identity numbers. MODEL ASSUMPTIONS
For certain vaccinations, assumptions are made when calculating the vaccination coverage. The assumptions are based on ages and times in the schedule for the child vaccination programme and that most children are vaccinated according to the schedule or close to the times in the schedule. This means, for example, that children who have a registered dose of DTP-polio-Hib-HepB vaccine or pneumococcal vaccine given at the age for dose 3 according to the schedule are assumed to have been vaccinated with 3 doses even if doses corresponding to dose 1 and/or 2 according to the schedule are missing in the register.
