What is EPI cluster sampling?

Abstract. PIP: The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is using a simplified cluster sampling method, based on the random selection of 210 children in 30 clusters of 7 children each, to estimate immunization coverage levels. This article analyzes the results of this method in actual and computer simulated surveys.
