*3.3. Geographic and Financial Accessibility of Clinics*

On average, it took caregivers (N = 107) five minutes to reach the clinic, with the majority (71%; n = 32/45) in the market community traveling to the clinic from work, and the majority (90%; n = 56/62) in the fishing community coming from home. Almost all (99%; N = 106/107) caregivers said that the container clinic was in a convenient location. The theme of geographic accessibility also emerged from the qualitative data:

*But this container clinic here, excuse me to say, it has helped me a lot, because I have a child that is 3 years, but I still bring him for weighing, now the container services, it is close to our houses.*—Caregiver, the fishing community

... *I won't risk this for anything so I will try to always take my child but at first, I always felt lazy to go because I was always here [at the market] so going to the community clinic* ... *but now that this one is closer, why not? I can even send someone to bring the child.*—Caregiver, the market community

The container clinics appear to improve the financial "accessibility" of receiving an immunization, as almost all caregivers walked to the clinics (97%; N = 104/107) in an average of five minutes (see above). Additionally, among caregivers who did not miss work to attend the container clinics, 59% (n = 23/45) of the caregivers interviewed at the market clinic reported they would have missed work without the container clinic, and 25% (n = 9/62) of the caregivers at the fishing community clinic reported they would have missed work (Table 1). This finding was also seen in the FGDs and IDIs:

*And then the immunization and everything goes on here so it has reduced their transportation in a way so it is a benefit to them, so they don't complain of not having money to go to the clinic again.*—Nurse, the market clinic

... *I think that, those that take cars to far places before or walk far distance before going to the clinic has reduced. There is someone who also has to walk before going, she will get tired, container clinic has saved all that hassle.*—Community leader, the fishing community
