Immunization Coverage in Uganda (WHO & UNICEF Estimates, 2023)

This report details WHO and UNICEF's estimates of national immunization coverage for Uganda, based on data compiled through July 1, 2023, with data received as of June 26, 2023. Key vaccines analyzed include BCG, DTP (1st and 3rd doses), Polio (3rd dose), IPV, MCV (1st and 2nd doses), RCV, Hepatitis B (birth and 3rd doses), Rotavirus, Hib, Pneumococcal, and Yellow Fever vaccines.

Coverage estimates range widely by year and vaccine, with many showing variations due to factors like vaccination stockouts, misreporting of data, and inconsistencies in administrative records. For instance, BCG coverage typically remained high in the 80s-90s, while DTP3 and Polio coverage fluctuated. Estimates are primarily based on administrative reporting and surveys but are challenged by poor data quality, leading to potential inaccuracies.

The grade of confidence (GoC) is provided for each estimate, indicating the level of empirical support, but no formal uncertainties or confidence intervals are given. It is recommended to use high-quality household surveys for verification.

Overall, immunization coverage shows both strengths and gaps, with historical data improvements possibly overestimated. Results should be used cautiously, as data reliability varies.
