15 Conclusions MCV coverage at 2 doses for the adolescents is increasing. MMR vaccine coverage for adolescents is influenced by nationality, year of birth, gender and school vaccination program. The higher MMR vaccine coverage in the Frenchspeaking region compared to the German-speaking region is most likely due to the different preventive measures implemented School vaccination programs and MMR vaccine coverage, Ph.
