Note: Coefficients from a GEE regression with autoregressive model of first order [AR(1)] error correlation modelled on the seasonally de-trended data. Model for DPT3 only considers 1 year and 1 month prior to intervention and 14 months post-intervention, due to drug stock-outs 2 years prior to the intervention that severely reduced DPT3 doses given.

*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.

N represents the number of facilities included across the 51 time points (27 for DPT3) in the model.

BHC = basic health centre; CHC = comprehensive health centre; DH = district hospital.
