Accumulators, the collector of syringes and needles, cotton balls soaked in alcohol and emergency box were available in 85.5%, 76.4%, 98.2% and 41.8% of cases respectively. Hand washing before immunization session was performed in 29.1% of cases. Waste disposal according to the hygiene rules was done by 40 agents. Health education of students regarding the interest of vaccination was done in 67.3% of cases. Therefore, improvements in hand hygiene practice and education are recommended
