| Caregiver brought immunization card to visit | 98.9 (85.9–99.9) | 99.5 (95.3–99.9) |
|
Infant received all required vaccinations for the day |

90.9 (59.8–98.5) |

Proportion of infant caregivers that “agree” or “strongly agree” with the following pre-formulated statements: |
||
| “Children get more vaccinations than necessary” | 53.3 (29.3–75.8) | 70.6 (59.2–79.9) |
| “Immunizations do more good than harm” | 95.6 (88.9–98.3) | 99.3 (96.0–99.9) |
| “Concerned about side effects from vaccination” | 63.3 (44.8–78.6) | 42.2 (29.5–56.2) |
| “Vaccinator can be trusted concerning how many vaccines your child needs to receive in a single visit” | 94.6 (88.5–97.6) | 97.0 (89.3–99.2) |
| “The vaccination schedule is good for your children” | 99.3 (97.4–99.8) | 99.6 (96.5–99.9) |
| “The vaccinations provided protect children from severe disease” | 99.3 (94.0–99.9) | 100 |
| “Better for a child to receive more injectable vaccines at a single visit if it means that they will be better protected against diseases” | 92.4 (84.6–96.4) | 92.7 (88.6–95.4) |
| “Prefer to visit the clinic only once so that your child receives all 3 vaccine injections at one visit” | 54.8 (17.7–87.3) | 83.0 (73.2–89.6) |
| “More concerned about your child having pain and discomfort from vaccinations spread out over multiple visits than about pain and discomfort from vaccinations administered all at once during a single visit” | 70.3 (47.9–85.9) | 68.2 (55.3–78.9) |
| “Vaccines will not work as well if many are injected at a single visit” | 30.1 (23.1–38.3) | 18.1 (9.9–30.7) |
