Home›Immunization Program›Geographic ScopeBrowse ByGeographic ScopeGeographic scope sorts public health programs by how wide an area each one covers, from a single country to the whole world. Wikipedia calls the Global Polio Eradication Initiative "the largest international public health initiative in history," a scope spanning nearly every country on earth. This dimension lets a visitor separate global campaigns from local or regional ones.FactsGeographic ScopeSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1974 1Geographic ScopeFilter Results29 entriesProgram KindAllVaccination (28)Where (Country)AllAfrica (2)Asia (2)Australia (1)Bolivia (1)Cambodia (1)Canada (1)China (1)Colombia (1)Europe (1)Indonesia (1)Israel (1)Kenya (1)Malaysia (1)Mexico (1)Morocco (1)Myanmar (1)Nepal (1)North America (1)Peru (1)Philippines (1)Rwanda (1)Saudi Arabia (1)Senegal (1)South America (1)Sri Lanka (1)Sudan (1)Turkey (1)United States (1)Zambia (1)Era (Launch Year)All1950 (1)1973 (1)1974 (1)1975 (1)1976 (1)1977 (2)1978 (5)1979 (3)1980 (2)1981 (2)1983 (1)1984 (1)1985 (1)1986 (1)1991 (1)1993 (1)1994 (1)1995 (1)1997 (1)2001 (2)2011 (1)2014 (1)2020 (4)StatusAllConcluded (1)Ongoing (20)Target PopulationAllAll (1)Children (7)Health GoalAllAccess (5)Eradication (1)Reduction (6)Sponsoring BodyAllChinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (1)UNICEF (1)United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1)World Health Organization (1)Associated WithAllMaternal and Child Health (1)Public Health (25)Disease or Condition AddressedAllCOVID-19 (4)Malaria (1)Measles (3)Poliomyelitis (2)Tetanus (2)Tuberculosis (2)Yellow Fever (1)Area (sq km)All22,072 (1)26,338 (1)67,240 (1)147,181 (1)181,035 (1)196,722 (1)330,803 (1)347,681 (1)446,550 (1)580,367 (1)676,579 (1)752,617 (1)783,562 (1)1,098,581 (1)1,141,748 (1)1,285,216 (1)1,886,068 (1)1,904,569 (1)1,972,550 (1)2,149,690 (1)7,688,287 (1)9,572,900 (1)9,866,632 (1)9,984,670 (1)10,186,000 (1)17,840,000 (1)24,709,000 (1)30,370,000 (1)44,579,000 (1)Country CountAll1 (1)12 (1)23 (1)44 (1)49 (1)54 (1)Government TypeAllAbsolute Monarchy (1)Constitutional Monarchy (4)One-Party (1)Republic (15)Highest Elevation (m)All2228 (1)5642 (1)5895 (1)6190 (1)6967 (1)8849 (1)Income GroupAllHigh (4)Low (2)Lower-Middle (8)Upper-Middle (9)Independence or Founding YearAll1769 (1)1776 (1)1810 (1)1821 (2)1825 (1)1867 (1)1923 (1)1932 (1)1945 (1)1946 (1)1948 (3)1949 (1)1953 (1)1956 (2)1957 (1)1960 (1)1962 (1)1963 (1)1964 (1)LandlockedAllNo (19)Yes (4)PopulationAll10,147,200 (1)11,365,333 (1)14,418,145 (1)17,638,801 (1)18,847,519 (1)20,216,029 (1)21,756,000 (1)27,801,023 (1)31,122,387 (1)33,702,731 (1)34,352,720 (1)34,374,300 (1)36,828,330 (1)41,417,056 (1)51,767,437 (1)52,695,952 (1)54,200,000 (1)55,770,232 (1)86,092,168 (1)114,000,000 (1)134,000,000 (1)288,315,089 (1)340,587,000 (1)434,254,119 (1)592,296,233 (1)745,173,774 (1)1,393,676,444 (1)1,407,698,000 (1)4,694,576,167 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 29AfricaGeographic Scope9 entriesAsiaGeographic Scope7 entriesAustraliaGeographic Scope1 entryBoliviaGeographic Scope1 entryCambodiaGeographic Scope1 entryCanadaGeographic Scope1 entryChinaGeographic Scope1 entryColombiaGeographic Scope1 entryEuropeGeographic Scope1 entryIndonesiaGeographic Scope1 entryIsraelGeographic Scope1 entryKenyaGeographic Scope1 entryMalaysiaGeographic Scope1 entryMexicoGeographic Scope1 entryMoroccoGeographic Scope1 entryMyanmarGeographic Scope1 entryNepalGeographic Scope1 entryNorth AmericaGeographic Scope1 entryPeruGeographic Scope1 entryPhilippinesGeographic Scope1 entryRwandaGeographic Scope1 entrySaudi ArabiaGeographic Scope1 entrySenegalGeographic Scope1 entrySouth AmericaGeographic Scope1 entrySri LankaGeographic Scope1 entrySudanGeographic Scope1 entryTurkeyGeographic Scope1 entryUnited StatesGeographic Scope3 entriesZambiaGeographic Scope1 entrySources1.
