Impact The indicators from this baseline vaccine coverage aided us to provide and indication of vaccines needed for the intervention and will help to assess the impact of intervention in terms of coverage. There are no clear targets for what an adequate vaccine coverage in these situations (muti-antigen campaign in IDP contexts) would be. For this reason, the results of this survey, together with the results of a post vaccination coverage survey, will help to gather indicators to better understand what can be expected from these interventions, in terms of reduction of percentage of zero dose children.
