Health-facility-based flow-chart for determining missed opportunities for vaccination (MOV), Chad and Malawi, 2015.
1All children were without valid contraindications and had 1+ eligible dose due. 2Missed opportunity for vaccination (MOV): contact with health services by a child (or adult) who is eligible for vaccination (unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or not up-to-date, and free of contraindications to vaccination), which does not result in the individual receiving all the vaccine doses for which he or she is eligible [9, 10].
