Process evaluation of pulse polio immunisation in Delhi. Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 1998 Jul-Aug; 65(4): 593-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/79703The aim of the study was to assess the functional aspects and the staffing at Pulse Polio immunisations posts. Interns and medical students conducted the survey in eighty seven pulse polio immunisation posts scattered all over National Capital Territory of Delhi on 18th January 1997. A pre-tested structured format containing information pertaining to dose utilisation and staffing was filled. Number of children given pulse polio was on an average 459.2 per immunisation post (474.7 rural, 516.35 slums and 435.0 urban). Average number of neonates (below one month) per immunisation post given polio drops was 5.1 (1.1%). The break-up for rural area, slums and urban area was 3.0 (0.63%), 6.7 (1.30%) and 4.9 (1.13%) respectively. By 12 pm, 67.8% and by 2 pm 88.7% of the doses had been administered. Staffing at most of the immunisation posts was adequate for all categories of staff except doctors (0.48 per booth).engDeveloping CountriesFemaleHumansImmunization Programs --statistics & numerical dataIndiaInfantInfant, NewbornMalePoliomyelitis --prevention & controlPoliovirus Vaccine, Inactivated --administration & dosageProgram EvaluationPulse Therapy, DrugJournal Article
