Looking at coverage for specific vaccines, 77 percent <strong>of</strong> children received the BCG<br />

vaccination, 75 percent received the first DPT dose, <strong>and</strong> 75 percent received the first polio dose.<br />

Coverage for all three vaccinations declines with subsequent doses; 66 percent <strong>of</strong> children received<br />

the recommended three doses <strong>of</strong> DPT, <strong>and</strong> 56 percent received three doses <strong>of</strong> polio. These figures<br />

reflect dropout rates (which represent the proportion <strong>of</strong> children who received the first dose <strong>of</strong> a<br />

vaccine but who did not get the third dose) <strong>of</strong> 12 percent for DPT <strong>and</strong> 25 percent for polio,<br />

respectively. This is a huge improvement from 2003 when the dropout rates for DPT <strong>and</strong> polio were<br />

45 <strong>and</strong> 62 percent, respectively. It is interesting to note that dropout rates for polio are higher than for<br />

DPT despite the fact that these vaccines should be given together. This may be related to polio<br />

vaccination being deliberately withheld when a child has diarrhea or to parental concern for a child<br />

receiving it during an episode <strong>of</strong> diarrhea <strong>and</strong> refusing it. Sixty-eight percent <strong>of</strong> children received the<br />

measles vaccine (Figure 11.1). Hepatitis B coverage varies slightly from DPT coverage, although they<br />

have been given together in a tetravalent vaccine since 2007. This difference is likely due to the<br />

inclusion <strong>of</strong> a small number <strong>of</strong> children who received the DPT vaccine before the tetravalent vaccine<br />

was introduced.<br />

Table 11.3 shows the percentages <strong>of</strong> children age 12-23 months who received specific<br />

vaccines at any time before the survey (according to a vaccination card or the mother’s report) <strong>and</strong> the<br />

percentages with a vaccination card.<br />
