1 Information was obtained from the vaccination card or, if there was no written record, from the mother. For children whose
information was based on the mother's report, the proportion of vaccinations given in the first year of life was assumed to be the same
as for children with a written record of vaccination.
2 Polio 0 is the polio vaccination given at birth.
3 Children who are fully vaccinated, i.e., those who have received BCG, measles, and three doses of DPT and polio vaccine (excluding
polio vaccine given at birth).
Table 10.16 shows the percentage of children under age five who received at least one polio
vaccine during a national immunization day (NID) campaign, according to mothers’ report, by
background characteristics. Thirty-seven percent of children under five received at least one polio
vaccination during the NID campaign in 1997, 64 percent in 1998, and 68 percent in 1999. This shows
a significant improvement in the coverage during the NIDs from 1997 to 1998 and a modest
improvement from 1998 to 1999.
There was little difference in vaccination coverage during the NIDs by sex of the child; however,
the difference in coverage was more pronounced between urban and rural areas, particularly in the 1997
coverage. Sixty-three percent of children in urban areas received at least one polio vaccination in 1997,
compared with 34 percent of children in rural areas. However, the urban-rural difference in coverage
narrowed over the following years. There are marked differences in the coverage between regions. In
1997, more than three in four children received polio vaccinations in the Tigray Region and in Addis
Ababa, whereas in four regions (Affar, Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz, and SNNP), only about one in four
children received vaccinations during the NID campaigns. Regional differences in the coverage have
narrowed over the last two years.
