# Synthetic Childhood Immunisation Coverage & Dropout Dataset (0–23 months)
|
| 39 |
-
|
| 40 |
-
## Abstract
|
| 41 |
-
|
| 42 |
-
This dataset provides **30,000 synthetic records** (10,000 per scenario) of childhood immunisation status for children aged 0-23 months in LMIC settings. Each record contains 28 variables: demographics, socioeconomic determinants (wealth quintile, maternal education, urban/rural, distance to facility), individual vaccine doses (BCG, OPV0-3, Penta1-3, PCV1-3, Rota1-2, IPV1, MCV1-2), and derived indicators (fully immunised, zero-dose, dropout). Coverage and equity gradients are parameterized from WHO/UNICEF WUENIC estimates, Gavi zero-dose analytics, and DHS vaccination equity analyses. Three scenarios (high, moderate, low coverage) capture the spectrum from well-performing programmes to fragile/conflict-affected settings.
|

|
| 44 |
-
## 1. Introduction
|
| 45 |
-
|
| 46 |
-
Globally, 14.3 million children received no routine vaccines ("zero-dose") in 2022 (WUENIC 2023). Immunisation coverage inequities by wealth, geography, and education remain a central challenge for the Immunization Agenda 2030. Open-access individual-level vaccination datasets from LMICs are scarce—DHS microdata requires registration and is survey-weighted, making it unsuitable for direct ML training.
|
| 47 |
-
|
| 48 |
-
This synthetic dataset addresses this gap for:
|
| 49 |
-
|
| 50 |
-
- Training ML models for zero-dose identification and dropout prediction
|
| 51 |
-
- Equity analysis and coverage gap modelling
|
| 52 |
-
- Prototyping immunisation programme dashboards
|
| 53 |
-
- Educational use in vaccinology and public health informatics

## How To Read This Dataset
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
+
- Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
|
| 74 |
+
- Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
|
| 75 |
+
- Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
|
| 76 |
+
- Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.
|
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
+
## Usage
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
+
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-synth-vaccination-childhood-immunisation-all")
|
| 84 |
+
print(ds)
|
|
|
|
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
+
split_name = next(iter(ds))
|
| 87 |
+
table = ds[split_name]
|
| 88 |
+
print(table.features)
|
| 89 |
+
print(table[:3])
|
| 90 |
+
```
|
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
+
### Convert To Pandas When Tabular
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
```python
|
| 95 |
+
from datasets import Dataset
|
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
+
first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
|
| 98 |
+
if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
|
| 99 |
+
df = first_split.to_pandas()
|
| 100 |
+
print(df.head())
|
| 101 |
```
|
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
+
## Data Quality Notes
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
+
- This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
|
| 106 |
+
- Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
|
| 107 |
+
- Metadata gaps from the inventory: country, upstream_publisher.
|
| 108 |
+
- Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.
|
|
|
|
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
+

## Suggested Analyses
|
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
+
- Inspect schema and missingness before modeling.
|
| 121 |
+
- Profile variables by geography, time, and subgroup columns where present.
|
| 122 |
+
- Join with other Electric Sheep Africa datasets using explicit country, year, and indicator fields when available.
|
| 123 |
+
- Build reproducible notebooks that cite both the original source context and the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face repo.
