The table depicts the number of children that took each vaccine dose, frequency of valid doses (taken until 7 days after the ideal age in days) and age (in days) considered adequate for a valid dose, and time of delay (average, minimum and maximum days of delay). The lower portion of the table shows summarized data for vaccines that require multiple doses (HBV, ORV, OPV and DTP-Hib). The last line show how many children had completed their vaccination for the first year of life, taking into account all doses received until the date of the interview, except for ORV doses. aValid dose = taken until 7 days after the ideal age in days; b only doses with a understandable date were computed; c ORV doses not included.
