Estimation of immunisation coverages in children by WHO 30-cluster survey.
Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-23253
ABSTRACT
A WHO 30-cluster survey for estimating immunisation coverages in infancy was undertaken in each of 5 districts in Tamil Nadu, strictly according to the specifications laid out in the WHO manual. The main aim was to examine whether the technique would provide estimates with the required degree of precision under Indian conditions. Of 60 sample survey estimates, 57 had the targeted degree of precision (i.e., 95% confidence limits of +/- 10 percentage points), which is in excellent agreement with expectation. The proportions of infants on whom immunisation was initiated, were very high for DPT vaccine (88-99%) and polio vaccine (85-99%); however, of those who had received the first dose, 23-39 per cent did not complete the 3-dose schedule. Estimated coverage with measles vaccine ranged from 15 to 54 per cent, while BCG coverage ranged from 53 to 97 per cent. Better health education regarding the need and correct age for immunisation, and more effective motivation at the time of administration of the first dose of DPT/polio vaccine, are recommended.
