Notes: bcgv, dptv, fullv, mslv, poliov are BCG immunization coverage, DTP3 immunization coverage, full immunization coverage, measles coverage and polio coverage among children aged 12–23 months, respectively. d, r and rci are rate difference, rate ratio and relative concentration index, respectively. SE is the standard errors. Economic status is used as the dimension of inequality. Economic status is determined using the wealth index. The wealth index is constructed on household assets and access to basic services using the principal component analysis. The wealth index is divided into quintiles. Data sources are from DHS, and analyzed using the HEAT software
