This indicator reflects the proportion of infants aged 12 to 23 months who have received the BCG vaccine, a critical immunization protecting against tuberculosis, as documented either through vaccination cards or reported by their mothers. This metric serves as a vital measure of healthcare access and system effectiveness, highlighting the community's commitment to childhood immunization. High coverage rates can indicate successful public health initiatives and awareness campaigns, while low rates may expose underlying
challenges in healthcare delivery, parental education, or infrastructure. This data is essential for policymakers to identify gaps in vaccination coverage, allocate resources effectively, and improve overall health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
