  • *EPI anticipated coverage was very high for dose 1 (100% for all scenarios in Burkina Faso but lower for Mali (Mass campaign: 90%, Routine EPI: 50% Mixed delivery: 70%). Coverage values in column ‘coverage’ is for dose 1. For the other doses, dropout rates used in the primary analysis (given in table 1) are used.
