Short name:
IA2030 – SP 3.2 High and equitable coverage
Data type:
Percent
Rationale:
Indicator selected for global monitoring for Immunization Agenda 2030 Strategic Priority Objective 3.2: Advance and sustain high and equitable immunization coverage nationally and in all districts.

This indicator measures DTP3, MCV1, and MCV2 coverage in the 20% of districts with lowest coverage.

Definition:
DTP3, MCV1, and MCV2 coverage in the 20% of districts with lowest coverage (mean across countries)

• Baseline year: 2019 • Baseline year: 2019

Disaggregation:
WHO Member States
Method of measurement
National immunization programme
M&E Framework:
Outcome
Method of estimation:
Step 1: Calculate missing values where applicable.

Recalculate the number of doses or the target number if possible.

• If coverage and target number are reported but number of doses is missing, recalculate the number of doses

• If coverage and number of doses are reported but the target number is missing, recalculate the target number

Step 2: Exclude districts if any of the three relevant values (number of doses, target number, and coverage) are missing.

Step 3: Identify the 20% of districts with lowest coverage. For each country, year, and vaccine, order the districts by – 1) ascending coverage and 2) ascending target number. In case multiple districts with the same coverage are spread across multiple quintiles, this will allow districts with smaller population to be classified into lower quintiles. Districts ranking between 1 and (0.2 * total number of districts in the country) are defined as 20% of districts with lowest coverage.

Step 4: • Country level: Calculate the weighted coverage across the 20% of districts with lowest coverage for each country, year, and vaccine

o Numerator: Total number of doses in the 20% lowest districts

o Denominator: Total target number in the 20% lowest districts

• Regional and global level: Calculate the non-weighted average using the national aggregation

Limitations:
Reported data is subject to numerous limitations. Country may not have submitted the data through the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form on Immunization (JRF) yet at the time of reporting. For newer indicators added to the JRF, it may take some time for the country to establish a system to be able to report the data.
