Fig 1.
Percent fully vaccinated by birth cohort and source of information for 12–59 month old respondents of the 2007 and 2013–2014 DRC DHS.
Blue lines represent the percent of children fully vaccinated as determined by all sources of information (maternal recall and vaccination card). Red lines represent full vaccination status among those with a vaccination card according to vaccination card only. Green lines represent the administration year of the two DRC-DHS survey waves. a n = 523; p for trend = .2442 b n = 1,120; p for trend = .0050 c n = 3,032; p for trend = .0033 d n = 6,619; p for trend = .0071.
Fig 2.
Spatial distribution of full vaccination status according to year (2007 and 2013–2014) and change in vaccination status over time among 12–59 month old DRC-DHS respondents.
In the 2007 and 2013 panels, the darker the shade, the higher the proportion of fully vaccinated children. In the third panel, green represents a large increase in vaccination coverage (101% to 1200%), yellow represents moderate increase in vaccination coverage (1% to 100%) and red represents a decrease in full vaccination coverage (-76% to 0%) over time.
