Immunisation coverage of children <1 year
| Definition | Percentage of children under 1 year who are fully immunised. Calculated from the number of children fully immunised (defined as first visit where all required vaccinations are completed) divided by the population <1 year.
DEFINITION: The percentage of all children in the target area under one year who complete their primary course of immunisation during the month (annualised). A Primary Course includes BCG, OPV 1,2 & 3, DTP-Hib 1,2 & 3, HepB 1,2 & 3, and 1st measles at 9 months.
USE: To assist with operational planning for full immunisation coverage.
COMMENTS: The denominator will normally be the number of children under one as per the latest census. It can also be the number of live births reported, if that number is accurate, or the number of less than one year olds based on the Census but adjusted for population growth and/or immigration/emigration/urbanisation patterns. |
