Abstract |
||||
|
Against the backdrop of poor routine immunization (RI) and high
supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) coverage in Edo
State, an analysis of data generated from both activities over a
three year period was conducted. The data showed of coverage
,75%, 82% and 80% in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively, against
an expected national minimum coverage of 87%. This study
compared oral polio immunization plus days (IPDs) data with data
generated from the district vaccine data management tool
(DVD-MT) used for RI analysis in Edo State over a 3 year period;
2012-14. This is aimed at determining if there is a significant
difference in the number of children vaccinated during RI and
SIAs. The result showed a statistical significance at P≤ 0.05 in
data generated for RI coverage compared to both rounds of SIAs
for the 3 years in Edo State and in all the 18 LGAs. The annual
OPV uptake was higher during the SIAs than RI for 2012-2014 in
the State and in 17 LGAs except 1 LGA (Uhunmwonde) whose RI
coverage was higher than the SIAs for the period under review
though it was statistically insignificant at P≤ 0.05. The OPV
uptake during RI was higher than both rounds of SIAs in 2014 at
Ovia North East LGA; this was statistically significant at P≤
0.05. The percentage coverage of the immunization activities and
the year conducted are represented in bar diagrams |
