Mean Percent of "X" Households Converted to "P" during B Team Phase by District and CMC Status, 2008-2009. Each bar represents the mean value for percent of "X" households converted to "P" during supplemental immunization activities (mass immunization campaigns) in the time period (2008-2009) during what is called the B Team phase. The value is calculated at the block level separately for CMC areas and non-CMC areas. In this figure the mean values are calculated separately for each District, and separately for CMC areas compared to non-CMC areas. Blue bars represent CMC areas; Orange bars represent non-CMC areas. "X" households are those with children less than five years of age who were not vaccinated during the current vaccination campaign. A household is converted to "P" when all children less than five years of age in the household is vaccinated during the current vaccination campaign. The B Team phase represents a second attempt to vaccinate children by going house to house. Prior to the B Team phase, A teams have gone house to house to vaccinate children and have marked houses with an "X" if a child less than five years of age lives in the house but remains unvaccinated.
