  • About 50% of infants receive complete primary immunization (DPT, OPV, BCG).
  • 46% of pregnant women receive tetanus toxoid (TT) doses.

    • Conclusions:

    • Vaccination coverage is increasing, with documented disease reduction in some areas.
    • Continued acceleration of immunization services is crucial to meet the 1990 universal coverage goals.
