Documentation of vaccine wastage in two different geographic contexts under the universal immunization program in India

Table 3 Vaccine wastage by antigen at cold chain store unit level in the two districts

Antigen	Vial size (doses/vial)	Doses administered (A)	Doses issued (B)	Vaccine usage rate C = (A/B) X 100 (%)	Vaccine wastage rate D = (100-C) (%)	Vaccine wastage range^a (D, %)	Wastage Factor E = 100/ (100-D)
