摘要：In March 2019, the South African National Department of Health (SANDoH) launched South Africa’s first national household vaccination coverage survey to be held since 1994. The need for this survey is driven by several imperatives. First, the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) 2011–2020, had set a 2020 global target for countries to reach 90% national coverage of all their primary series vaccines. 1 The administrative fully immunised under one year old coverage (FIC) of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation of South Africa (EPI-SA), reported through the District Health Information System (DHIS), shows that EPI-SA is not on track for reaching GVAP’s target. 2 EPI-SA’s FIC steadily increased from 83.6% in 2012/2013 to 89.8% in 2014/2015, before dropping to 82.3% in 2016/2017.
