∗Digits in this column indicate the ratio of the total number of doses in 10-dose vials to total number of doses in single-dose vials. For instance, on the first row 2.14 means that there were 420 pentavalent doses in 10-dose vials and 162 pentavalent doses in single-dose vials. The digits below one, means that number of doses in single-dose vial was more than number of doses in 10-dose vials. These figures are one of the important parameters used in the WHO model.
