The WHO and UNICEF estimates of national immunization coverage (wuenic) are based on data and information
that are of varying, and, in some instances, unknown quality. Beginning with the 2011 revision we describe
the grade of confidence (GoC) we have in these estimates. As there is no underlying probability model upon
which the estimates are based, we are unable to present classical measures of uncertainty, e.g., confidence
intervals. Moreover, we have chosen not to make subjective estimates of plausibility/certainty ranges around
the coverage. The GoC reflects the degree of empirical support upon which the estimates are based. It is
not a judgment of the quality of data reported by national authorities.
••• Estimate is supported by reported data [R+], coverage recalculated with an independent denominator
from the World Population Prospects: 2022 revision from the UN Population Division (D+), and at
least one supporting survey within 2 years [S+]. While well supported, the estimate still carries a risk
of being wrong.
•• Estimate is supported by at least one data source; [R+], [S+], or [D+]; and no data source, [R-], [D-], or
[S-], challenges the estimate.
• There are no directly supporting data; or data from at least one source; [R-], [D-], [S-]; challenge the estimate.
In all cases these estimates should be used with caution and should be assessed in light
of the objective for which they are being used.

Description:
2022: Reported data calibrated to 2018 levels. Programme notes challenges with the availability
of data recording tools and training of health centre managers in data verification and
analysis. Also, data review and validation meetings are not systematically held at all
levels. WHO and UNICEF encourage continued efforts to improve recording and mon-
itoring while also increasing coverage. WHO and UNICEF recommend a high-quality
vaccination coverage survey and encourage the conduction of the national immunization
coverage survey planned for 2023. Programme reports a one month vaccine stockout at
national and subnational levels. Estimate challenged by: D-R-
2021: Reported data calibrated to 2018 levels. Programme reports one-half month vaccine stock-
out at national level. Estimate challenged by: D-R-
2020: Reported data calibrated to 2018 levels. Reported target population declined between
2019 and 2020. Immunization estimates from MICS survey could not be produced due
to an error in data collection. Estimate challenged by: D-R-
2019: Reported data calibrated to 2018 levels. Reported coverage levels continue to suggest
challenges within the administrative recording and reporting system. Programme notes
that health center managers are insufficiently trained in data verification and analysis
and that data review and validation meetings are not systematically held at all levels.
