Full vaccination coverage refers to the receipt of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and Diphtheria Tetanus and Pertussis (DTP) vaccines, and the measles vaccine. While China's national goal in 2004 was to achieve 85 per cent coverage in every township, coverage was significantly lower in western and central regions, falling below 80 per cent in many provinces.
