Notes: Table shows point estimates and 95% confidence intervals reflecting estimation uncertainty. Column 1 shows the estimated number of incremental doses delivered due to IMI. This result is calculated by generating predictions from regression models, with covariates set to their true values in the full set of IMI districts. Column 2 shows the estimated percentage point change in coverage in IMI districts. This result is calculated dividing the values in column 1 by an estimate of the target population. The target population is estimated using World Bank data on the population size, birth rate, and neonatal mortality rate in 2017, and HMIS data on the percentage of live births in India that occurred in IMI treatment districts. The full birth cohort is used as the target population for BCG, TT1, and TT2; the birth cohort size less the infant mortality rate is used as the target population for other infant vaccines. Column 3 shows the estimated percentage of unreached children in the treated districts who were reached through IMI. This result is generated by dividing the values in column 1 by an estimate of the number of children in the target districts who would have been unvaccinated if IMI had not occurred. The denominator is calculated by multiplying 1 minus the coverage in 2016 (from DHS estimates) by the size of the target population. NA indicates ‘Not Applicable.’

For these vaccines, there are no estimates of coverage in the 2016 DHS survey.
