Notes:
-
1.Analysis assumes 90% coverage of target groups and a two-dose series for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines
-
2.We assumed that both HPV doses were delivered to girls at 9 years of age.
-
3.Vaccinators = nurse density per capita (6.9 per 10,000) × country population (20,000,000) × percent of nurses that provide immunization services (46%). Nurse data are from WHO Global Health Workforce Statistics [18]. We used the median value from African Region countries at the most recent available date and divided by country population estimates to calculate per capita values [14].
