This indicator assesses the percentage of children aged 12-23 months who are unvaccinated, providing
critical insight into immunization coverage within this vulnerable age group. It highlights the proportion of children who have not received essential vaccines, such as BCG, measles, and the full schedule of DPT and polio doses (excluding polio 0). By analyzing this data, public health officials can
identify gaps in vaccination uptake and target interventions to increase coverage rates. Furthermore, understanding the demographics and geographical distribution of unvaccinated children can help tailor education and outreach efforts. This information is pivotal for
enhancing health policy strategies and improving childhood immunization programs to prevent disease outbreaks.
