Inequity in vaccination coverage in India was found between states, within states, and in urban vs. rural areas. Lower parental education resulted in lower coverage, girls had lower coverage than boys, and infants born to families with a large number of children also had lower coverage than others. A direct relationship between household wealth and coverage was also found.
