Spatial mapping of vaccination coverage using GPS and Google earth

Vaccination coverage was good in the study area. GPS and google earth was useful in spatial mapping of the vaccination coverage. Awareness about pentavalent vaccination was poor among the mothers. Health care services for administration of pentavalent vaccine were satisfactory. GPS technology and google earth can be used in coverage evaluation surveys. There is a need to conduct state-wise or country-wise studies for generalization.
