%X Two rounds of pulse polio immunization in January and February 2008 were evaluated in rural areas of Dang district. Randomly selected team members of 24% booths and teams working during house to house activity were interviewed. Approximately 78% of eligible children were immunized on booths whereas remaining eligible were covered during house to house activity. In January & February 2008 round, tOPV was used for immunization purpose. Utilizers of booth services received information about these rounds mainly from health worker/anganwadi worker and television. During house to house activity, few unimmunized children were found. Adequate manpower with proper training and community mobilization can improve the coverage.
