Childhood vaccination and nutritional status from the seventh Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (2025 RDHS). The two halves point opposite ways. Vaccination is close to universal: 94.2% of children aged 12 to 23 months have received every basic antigen and 0.8% have received none. Nutrition is not: 26.8% of children under five are stunted, and that national figure sits between two very different worlds, from 39.8% in the poorest fifth of households to 9.2% in the richest, and from 14.2% in the City of Kigali to 32.7% in Northern Province. 35 indicators covering seventeen antigens across two age bands, three anthropometric measures (stunting, wasting and underweight, each with a severe threshold and a mean z-score) and their denominators, each broken down one dimension at a time. Source is tables 10 and 13 of the DHS7 Key Indicators Report; the machine-readable copies are fetched from the RISA Data Sharing Platform (data.gov.rw).
