| Abstract | The measles epidemic is one of the deadliest diseases of children and it is of the main diseases that contribute a significant share of morbidity and mortality among children in most African countries, including Ethiopia. Ethiopia conducted a nationwide post-measles coverage survey to determine the coverage of national and regional measles Supplementary Immunization Activities and validate the administrative coverage in 2017. This survey is planned as a standard supplementary immunization activity (SIA) cluster survey which is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) with a multistage sampling technique and cross-sectional household survey. All Zones were evaluated through this cluster survey methodology to classify them as PASS, FAIL, and INTERMEDIATE according to their campaign performance. Data was collected from sampled children between 9 to 59 months and 60 to179 months of age and analyzed using STATA version14 (or later version) and Vaccination Coverage Quality Indicators (VCQI) free open-source software developed by the World health organization. The overall coverage of the survey would be an encouraging result towards the effort in the reduction of the measles epidemic in the country. Children of age 1-14 years who never had measles vaccination (zero dose measles vaccination) at the time of the survey were estimated to be 2.3% nationally. Health workers including health extension workers were considered the major sources of information for community mobilization. Among the reasons mentioned by the respondents, ‘not aware of the campaign’ and ‘away from home or busy or ill’ were the most commonly reported reasons for non-vaccination. |

The data was collected from selected children 9 to 59 months and 60 to179 months of age for the 2017 measles SIA using questionnaire and finger marks tools between April and October in 2017. The dataset captures information for each child such as Age of child (months), Child present during the interview(y/n), Measles vaccination received during the campaign, by finger marker/vaccination card or history, Previous measles vaccination (#of doses), Source of information for attending campaign(TV, Radio,..etc), reasons for not vaccinated ( not informed, did not know about the campaign, Too far, Too busy to attend the session, Went, no service available, Child does not need measles vaccination, Child already received measles vaccine, Fear of side effects and Child ill ). Thus, the dataset is used to obtain descriptive statistics on Measles vaccination coverage at a regional and national level, sources of information for SIA (by region), and Reasons for non-vaccination (by region). |
