Variables

Definitions

BCG coverage (bcgv)

The percentage of children who have received one dose of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in a given year. The numerator is the number of children aged 12–23 months receiving one dose of BCG vaccine while the denominator is the total number of children aged 12–23 months surveyed.

The numerator is the number of children aged 12–23 months receiving three doses of DTP3 vaccine while the denominator is total number of children aged 12–23 months surveyed.

Full immunization coverage (fullv)

The percentage of children who have received one dose of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, three doses of polio vaccine, three doses of the combined diphtheria, tetanus toxoid and pertussis (DTP3) vaccine, and one dose of measles vaccine. The numerator is the number of children aged 12–23 months receiving one dose of BCG vaccine, three doses of polio vaccine, three doses of DTP3 vaccine, and one dose of measles vaccine while the denominator is the total number of children aged 12–23 months surveyed.

Measles coverage (mslv)

The percentage of children who have received at least one dose of measles-containing vaccine in a given year. The numerator is the number of children aged 12–23 months receiving at least one dose of measles-containing vaccine while the denominator is total number of children aged 12–23 months surveyed.
