The primary objective of a vaccination coverage survey is to provide a coverage estimate for selected vaccines. This page provides a list of documents related to the design, implementation, analysis, and reporting of vaccination coverage surveys. The documents have been organized into the categories below and are provided here to assist in conducting an effective vaccination coverage survey.

This page was created and is maintained by the WHO Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Strategic Information Group. Much of this material was brought together at the "WHO Tools and Guidance on Immunization Data Quality and Vaccination Coverage Survey" meeting, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey in December 2015.
