Dear all,
I have noticed some potential inconsistencies in vaccine coverage (see below) and I wonder if you could provide some guidance.
1. For the age range 12-23 mo, measles coverage is 87.9% in the published report. However, considering the variable h9 in the children dataset and using the same definition, I ended up with a coverage of 71.7%.
The indicator was calculated considering all live children and using categories h9 = 1, 2 and 3 as vaccinated.
2. For the age range 24-35 mo, the report published full immunization coverage (FIC) as low as 3.3% which is much lower than published for children aged 12-23mo (76.6%). I calculated a FIC = 64.3%. Also, all the basic vaccines included in this indicator, had a coverage above 79%.
