Evaluation of vaccination coverage.
The cluster sampling methodology based on WHO module on "Evaluate Vaccination Coverage" recommended by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, 1987 was followed to evaluate the vaccination coverage of eligibles. Out of the 215 eligible children between 12-23 months of age, 44.65 38.61 and 16.74 per cent were found to be fully, partially and unimmunized respectively. The dropout rate for OPV and DPT was 21.23 while it was 4.03 per cent for TT. Based on the studied facts responsible for non or partial immunization, suggestions have been made to accelerate the coverage and reduce the dropout rate.
