  1. Notes: OR Odds Ratio; The estimation for measles vaccines was restricted to children with at least 9 months of age; OPV and DPT vaccination status considered at least one dose; The dependent variable (recall bias) took the value of 1 if the two data sources disagree and 0 otherwise; These results remain unchanged when adjusted for clustering at the facility level in the analysis; *** denotes significance at 1%, ** at 5%, and * at 10% level
