N/A: not applicable.
a Schedule is the target weeks after birth to administer the first, second and third doses of vaccine.
b Vaccination coverage was categorized as complete if the child was recorded as fully immunized with at least three doses of monovalent or combination hepatitis B vaccine. Incomplete coverage was if any of the recommended doses was recorded as 0 (not given), irrespective of whether other doses were missing response items; for instance, if dose 1 and 2 were missing but dose 3 was recorded as 0 we considered the individual as incompletely vaccinated.
c Vaccination schedule in these countries includes a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine (monovalent), i.e. four doses in total.
Notes: Data were extracted from the most recent demographic and health survey in each country (survey year range: 2005–2014). Denominators are weighted counts of the number of children and are based on children with vaccination dates or vaccinations marked as administered in the vaccination card but without dates. Denominators for individual vaccine doses vary due to the number of observations (children) reporting specific doses as not received and the number of children for whom doses were reported as received.
