DTP3 Immunization Coverage (Global)

Related Content:

On December 12 2008, researchers at IHME published new estimates of the coverage of three-dose diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3) vaccination. These estimates take into account all publicly available data, including data from routine reporting systems, as well as data from nationally representative surveys. This page is meant to provide easy access to these estimates, as well as to the data and the code used to determine the estimates. The full study, Tracking progress towards universal childhood immunizations and the impact of global initiatives, is available online.

Data

By selecting a country from the list of WHO member countries below, four components will be provided:

  • A yearly dataset from 1986 to 2006 giving survey-based estimates with uncertainty intervals
  • A dataset with estimates of DTP3 coverage from nationally representative surveys, including estimates, uncertainty intervals (where applicable), information about the kind of survey, the source the estimate was taken from, and whether or not the estimate was determined to be an extreme outlier.
  • A graphical representation of the underlying data and IHME’s estimates of coverage.
  • A graphical comparison of official country reports of coverage, WHO estimates of coverage, and IHME’s estimates of coverage.

The underlying data is available from a variety of publicly accessible sources. Official Country Reports and Administrative estimates are available from WHO and UNICEF http://www.unicef.org/publications/index_38256.html. Survey micro-data (unit-record data) and survey-specific reports are available from Macro International http://www.measuredhs.com, UNICEF http://www.childinfo.org/ and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/surveys. All publicly available data has been re-analyzed by IHME in order to ensure consistency of methodology and to calculate appropriate confidence intervals.
