Average time of administration and time spent in vaccination sessions Logistical problems faced, including transportation and storage of vaccines and water Availability of safe water Waste managment Overall direct costs incurred 3.2. Acceptability of the mass vaccination campaign by the population We performed a cross-sectional cluster survey and implemented adverse event surveillance. The study population included individuals older than 12 months, eligible for vaccination, and residing in the areas targeted for vaccination (Forécariah and Boffa, Guinea). Data sources were household interviews with verification by vaccination card. 3.3. Adverse events following immunization Surveillance of adverse events following immunization was implemented in the sites where the mass vaccination campaigns were carried out as well as in the health centers and health posts of the areas targeted by the mass vaccination campaigns for 14 days following each vaccination round.
