Under 90% coverage in the catch-up cohorts, number of doses required in routine and catch-up cohorts combined is the same for both strategies, whereas under 60% coverage in the catch-up cohorts, number of doses required in routine and candidate catch-up cohorts combined is 1·2 times higher for the two-dose routine-only strategy than the single-dose strategy.

Absolute number of cases prevented in the routine and catch-up birth cohorts, combined with the total number of women born in India in 2000–20, which was estimated to be 260 million.

The first ten routine vaccination birth cohorts.

§

The ten birth cohorts aged 11–20 years at start of vaccination that could be vaccinated as part of catch-up programme.
