Table 1.
The Gambia routine childhood immunization schedule showing vaccines given during infancy and the accepted national vaccination window [27].
Fig 1.
Cumulative routine vaccination coverage curve of children 12–35 months in The Gambia.
Note: Green vertical dotted lines indicate the recommended national vaccination windows (≤24 hours for HepB0, 1–7 days for BCG, 61–90 days for OPV1 and PENTA1, 91–120 days for OPV2 and PENTA2, 121–150 days for OPV3 and PENTA3, and 271–300 days for MCV1). Red dotted line indicates WHO routine vaccination coverage target. Denominator is all eligible children with any evidence of vaccination, including vaccination cards and maternal recall.
Fig 2.
The comparison between routine vaccination coverage and timely vaccination coverage in The Gambia.
Note: Red horizontal dotted lines indicate the 2020 Global Vaccine Plan (GVAP) and the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) country-level crude vaccination coverage target. Error bar indicates 95% confidence interval (CI).
Fig 3.
Early vaccination among children 12–23 months and 24–35 months in The Gambia (a) the proportion with early vaccination (categorical timeliness), (b) Number of days before the earliest accepted window that children were vaccinated too early (continuous timeliness). Note: Panel B is truncated at 120 days, thus, does not show the number of days outside the window for the outliers.
Fig 4.
Delayed vaccination among children 12–23 months and 24–35 months in The Gambia (a) the proportion with delayed vaccination (categorical timeliness), (b) Number of days after the latest accepted window that children were vaccinated too late or delayed (continuous timeliness). Panel B is truncated at 300 days, thus, does not show the number of days outside the window for the outliers.
Fig 5.
The proportion of children with untimely interval vaccination for subsequent doses of multi-series vaccines in The Gambia.
Note: continuous timeliness (number of days outside the interval) was not computed for this dimension of vaccination timeliness because “untimely interval” include those who were vaccinated before and after the recommended interval for the multi-series vaccines.
