Although the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) cluster survey methodology has been successfully used for assessing levels of immunization programme coverage in developing country settings, certain features of the methodology, as it is usually carried out, make it less-than-optimal choice for large, national surveys and/or surveys with multiple measurement objectives. What is needed is a 'middle ground' between rigorous cluster sampling methods, which are seen as unfeasible for routine use in many developing country settings, and the EPI cluster survey approach.
