Bangladesh Gavi FCE Measles-Rubella Pre-Vaccine Campaign Household Survey 2013
General Info
Gavi Full Country Evaluations (FCE) are prospective studies covering 2013-2016 that aim to assess the barriers to and drivers of immunization program performance. Part of the Bangladesh Gavi FCE, this survey focused on selected locations stratified by urban/rural and low/high performing areas. It was conducted in Sylhet District and Sylhet City Corporation (in the low-performing Sylhet Division) and Joypurhat District and Rajshahi City Corporation (in the high-performing Rajshahi Division). The survey collected information at the household level prior to the implementation of a measles-rubella vaccine campaign. It covered sociodemographic characteristics; knowledge, treatment and management of measles and rubella; vaccination status of children (including immunization card documentation); and access to vaccination services and experience at health facilities. In a sub-sample of children, a small amount of blood was collected in order to measure vaccine presence. In total, 1,735 households were sampled.
