The prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against the measles virus and yellow fever virus was 96.7% (95% CI 93.9-98.3) and 91.4% (95% CI 88.0-94.7) respectively. The polio results showed that 62.2% (95% CI 56.5-67.6) 71.7% (95% CI 66.2-76.6) and 63.5% (95% CI 56.5-69.6) had antibodies against the types 1, 2 and 3, respectively, showing vulnerability to B Hepatitis, Yellow Fever and Poliomyelitis.
