Drop out rate: comparison of number of children who start the immunization<br />
series and the number of children who complete it dur<strong>in</strong>g the same period of<br />
time.<br />
DPT1 to DPT3 drop-out rate:<br />
cumulative doses of DPT1 – cumulative doses of DPT3 X 100<br />
cumulative doses of DPT1<br />
DPT1 to measles drop-out rate:<br />
cumulative doses of DPT1 – cumulative doses of measles X 100<br />
cumulative doses of DPT1<br />
Examples:<br />
DPT1 coverage <strong>for</strong> the year was 800. DPT 3 coverage <strong>for</strong> the year was 600.<br />
Measles coverage was 400. What was the drop out rate from DPT1 to DPT3?<br />
What was the drop out from DPT1 to measles?<br />
Answer: DPT1 to DPT3 drop out = 800-600 X 100 = 25%<br />

DPT1 to measles drop out = 800-400 X 100 = 50%<br />
