Abstract:
Immunization is one of the most powerful public health interventions currently available. It is becoming increasingly necessary to consider the consistency of reported target populations as countries seek to expand immunization coverage worldwide. It is therefore vital to determine accurate target populations for immunization using approaches like data triangulation which can serve as a cost-effective tool as the process involves the usage of multiple pre-existing data sources. With this background, the current study was done to illustrate the use of data triangulation in estimating denominator data for immunization in infants.
