Dashboard 1: Monthly burden and vaccination coverage in Finland
This visualization presents national monthly incidence of RVGE, UVGE
and AGE by type of health care contact in Finnish hospitals
(inpatient or outpatient) alongside monthly national vaccination
coverage as line plots. Vaccination coverage is included since 2009,
when rotavirus vaccination (RV5, RotaTeqTM) was
introduced in the national immunization program and its
administration data started being registered in national registries.
Dashboard 2: Regional yearly burden and vaccination coverage
Annual RVGE incidence rate and vaccination coverage are presented
regionally, and darker shades represent higher values for both the
incidence rate and vaccination coverage (white means no data are
available). The regional levels in this study correspond to Specific
Catchment Areas (ERVA in Finnish) and include: the Helsinki
University Hospital Specific Catchment Area (HYKS), the Kuopio
University Hospital Catchment Area (KYS), the Oulu University
Hospital Catchment Area (OYS), the Tampere University Hospital
Catchment Area (TAYS), and the Hospital District of Southwest
Finland Catchment Area (TYKS). The maps are based on open
geographical data.
Population density and birth rate specific to the catchment areas
are presented below to allow further context for burden and
vaccination coverage estimates.
