This indicator reflects the proportion of children aged 12 to 23 months who
have received a complete set of essential vaccinations according to documented evidence from vaccination cards or maternal reports. Specifically, it includes those who have been immunized with BCG, measles, and have received three doses each of the DPT and polio vaccines, while excluding the initial polio dose. By evaluating coverage over multiple demographic segments, this metric sheds light on public health effectiveness and accessibility, highlighting disparities that may exist within different communities. Monitoring this data can guide health interventions, inform policy decisions, and ultimately contribute to improved child health outcomes across regions.
