To assess the immunization status of children in 90 districts of the country giving due representation to all States and UTs.
WHO 30 cluster survey methodology with certain modifications incorporating information on sex, literacy and distance of the village.
Information was collected for about nineteen thousand children. Immunization program could touch about 90% of target children. About 63% of children received all the vaccines (BCG, DPT, OPV, Measles). In the states of Bihar, Rajasthan, UP, MP, and NE States (combined) coverage levels were relatively lower. The coverage levels were also lower for children of illiterate mothers and in small, inaccessible and tribal village.
Immunization coverage of children has improved in recent years. Further improvement may be achieved by targeting illiterate mothers, inaccessible and tribal areas and low performing states.
评估该国90个地区儿童的免疫接种状况，确保所有邦和中央直辖区都能得到充分代表。
采用世界卫生组织30群组调查方法，并进行了某些修改，纳入了有关村庄的性别、识字率和距离等信息。
收集了约19000名儿童的信息。免疫接种计划能够覆盖约90%的目标儿童。约63%的儿童接种了所有疫苗（卡介苗、百白破疫苗、口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗、麻疹疫苗）。在比哈尔邦、拉贾斯坦邦、北方邦、中央邦和东北部各邦（合并计算），覆盖水平相对较低。文盲母亲的子女以及在小型、交通不便和部落村庄的儿童，覆盖水平也较低。
近年来儿童免疫接种覆盖率有所提高。通过针对文盲母亲、交通不便和部落地区以及表现不佳的邦，可能会进一步提高覆盖率。
