Abstract

There has been some progress in the area of child immunization in India. However, this progress is expected to be offset by the pandemic (Covid-19). Using the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4 & NFHS-5), we plan to understand whether immunization rate (for children below 5 years of age) post covid-19 is similar to the immunization rates during NFHS-4 (or have they deteriorated). For immunization, we will particularly focus on BCG, Polio (1st, 2nd and 3rd dose), DPT (1st, 2nd and 3rd dose) and Vitamin A (last dose, next-to-last dose and dose in the last 6 months). We have also report the results for total number of vaccines taken (intensity) and whether all vaccines have been taken (yes-no)
