2 Polio 0 is the polio vaccination given at birth.
Children who are fully vaccinated, i.e., those who have received BCG, measles, and three doses of DPT and polio vaccine
a(excluding polio vaccine given at birth).
In the Affar region, the percent fully immunized is negligible.
10.13 TRENDS IN VACCINATION COVERAGE
One way of measuring trends in vaccination coverage is to compare coverage among children of
different ages. Table 10.15 shows the percentage of children who have received vaccinations during the
first year of life according to their current age. This type of data can provide evidence of any trends in
the vaccination coverage over the past five years.
There is no notable change in the vaccination coverage over the past five years. However, the
percentage of children who have received no vaccination at all has declined over the past five years from
31 percent among children age 48-59 months at the time of the survey to 25 percent among children age
12-23 months. Not surprisingly, vaccination cards were shown for one in four children age 12-23
months but only for 12 percent of children age 48-59 months. This could be because vaccination cards
for older children may have been discarded.
