Why it matters
Comparing a week or month with the same week or month a year earlier removes ordinary seasonality: monsoon-season fever, the March reporting rush. What remains is change the calendar does not explain.
For MCV1 doses per 100 BCG doses, higher is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.
