  2. BCG: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine, DPT3: the third dose of Diphtheria-Pertusis-Tetanus vaccine, OPV3: the third dose of Oral Polio vaccine. The total number of subject districts was 331. Some of the subtotals of number of districts may not be equal to 331 due to un-reporting from some districts.
