Wastage rate, Coverage rate, Dropout rate Calculation

1. Wastage Rate ,Coverage Rate, Dropout Rate calculation Prepared by Binam Raj Shrestha Master of Public Health(MPH)

2. How to calculate Vaccine wastage rate Vaccine usage rate (%) Number of immunized [(#of usable doses + #of doses received ) at the beginning of the period] -[ number of usable doses in stock at the end of the period ] 100 Vaccine wastage rate (%) = 100% -vaccine usage rate (%)

3. Estimating vaccine needs by target population Estimate by target population when you have reliable demographic data Total Doses for year = Target population × number of doses for antigen × coverage target × wastage multification factor (WMF) example :- MR total doses= 0-11 month population × 2 × [(target population coverage of 1 st dose )+ ( target population coverage of 1 st dose )] × wastage multification factor (WMF

4. Wastage multiplication factors(WMF) = 100 100-wastage rate for routine

5. Annual coverage rate for a vaccine dose:- Number of infants who received dose during the last 12 months Annual target population 100

6. Annual target may be number of pregnant women or number of infants <1 years old Eg . Pentavalent 1 can be calculated by using formula .

7. Dropout rate:- Number of dropouts = Cumulative total for first dose in series – cumulative total for last dose in series Dropout rate = { total for first dose in series – cumulative total for last dose in series } ×100
