Abstract

The article describes levels of immunization coverage and their trends according to an array of indicators. Performance differences are illustrated by amplitudes and maximum/minimum ratios. Results show that the health regions’ performances vary according to how they are evaluated (for instance on the basis of “full immunization coverage” which may include vaccination status of children who have not completed their vaccinations). The health regions encompass a variety of realities, and different efforts of intensity would be required to reach all the target populations. The study uses data from surveys carried out in Burkina Faso: 1993, 1998 and 2003 Demographic and Health Surveys.
