*AFP, acute flaccid paralysis; CI, confidence interval. †Administrative vaccination coverage provided by health authorities at the country level 1986–2000, at the regional level 2001–2006, and at the city level 2007–2009. Vaccination coverage was partially incomplete for 1992–2000 because of civil conflict. Thus, values for 1994, 1998, and 2000 consisted of interpolated values from years for which data are available.
