“…8 In the present study 35.9% children were due for LPV 3 and OPV 3, 28.1% children were due for LPV 2 OPV 2, 7.8% children were due for LPV 1 and OPV 1. These findings were similar to the findings of Kurane et al 9 Birth to DPT 1ST dose overall has 42% drop out. So, progressive increase in the missing the dose of LPV2 and LPV3 is because of unawareness of subsequent doses, Fear of AEFI and sickness status of the child.…”

Background: In December 2014, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India launched Mission Indradhanush with the aim to ensure that all children are fully vaccinated against seven vaccine-preventable diseases before they reach an age of two years.Methods: A cross sectional, community based study was conducted among parents attending Indradhanush Vaccination Centre (IVC) along with their partial and unimmunized children aged 0-23 months. Study was conducted during Mission Indradhanush (MI) 2nd Phase from November 2015 to January 2016. Data consisting of information regarding the various demographic variables, immunization history, and reasons for partial and unimmunization was collected by interviewing the parents through a pre-tested, structured questionnaire.Results: A total of 153 children were studied involving 63 session sites. 50 (32.7%) children were residing in low coverage areas, 4 (2.6%) children in villages with migratory population, 4(2.6%) children in areas with missed session and 87(56.9%) children residing in village with vacant sub centre. Common reasons for not vaccination were, child was sick on the day of vaccination (32%), child migrated to other place (27.5%), Fear of AEFI (11.8%), ignorance (11.1%). Only 92 (60.1%) children were having MCP card.Conclusions: The reasons for partial and un immunization were mainly lack of awareness of parents, sickness of children, fear of AEFI and migration to other places which would be solved by taking all efforts to raise the awareness of community about need of immunization along with providing complete information about the immunization services being provided to them.

“…Because of that they are not ready for vaccinate their children, that leads to the risk of their own child's life. (5) During the survey, it was revealed that the parents had good knowledge regarding Universal immunization program but limited awareness of the knowledge towards newer vaccines as well as optional vaccination. (6) The main reason of Immunization delayed was due to lack of family support, poor participation of the male as well as negative attitude of the elderly at home, gender bias, common childhood illness, apprehension of giving many vaccines at one time and adverse rumours.…”

There are numerous diseases which cause infection in the human beings, it may get cured with medication or without the medication and some of them are become fatal. There are some diseases which get cured completely but leaves behind some damage in human, like polio. This damage not cause physically but also cause mental trauma to children. So, it is better to prevent the disease before manifestation, for that immunization is the best way to prevent and protect from disease by giving medication like a vaccine. Large populations of parents are not aware of the benefits of the immunization. Awareness regarding the vaccination among a small town population is less. The aim by this Survey is parents' awareness of children immunization as per Universal immunization program (UIP). For survey, conducted the cross-sectional observational questionnaire-based community survey in the Yelikeli village of Wardha district, where the assessment of the children immunizations should do up to the age of 5 years. In 94% population of parents are known about the vaccination, which has to be given to their children of age between 1-4 years. Around 82% of parents get information regarding immunization by Anganwadi sevika. The survey concludes that the government immunization coverage reached to the small village. Most effective mode to provide information about the vaccination program was door to door advertisement which reduces the chances of missing doses of vaccination and because of that parent is well aware of the UIP schedule. The vaccine is enough sufficient to avert severe disease.

“…Among the individual vaccines, it was found that the immunization status for BCG & OPV-0 was highest, which was similar to the findings from most of the other studies. [17][18][19][20][21] These are the vaccines given at the time of birth, and the highest percentage of vaccination for these is justified as institutional delivery was reported by most, i.e., at Government and private hospitals. Immunization status for subsequent vaccines showed a downtrend.…”

Background: Deaths among children of less than five years are preventable, mostly by vaccination. In India, the coverage still remains low, as low as 44% children between 12 to 23 months age are fully immunized. This study was intended to assess the immunization status of the children between the age group of 12-60 months, and study the possible socio demographic factors influencing it.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 wards of a census town, selected by Multi-stage simple random sampling, for a period of 4 months among 400 children. Data was collected from the mothers of these children, using structured questionnaire.Results: Immunization status among these children showed that 32.5% were fully immunized, 52.0% were immunisation update, 14% were partially immunized, and 0.5% was not immunized. Immunization status was highest for BCG and OPV-0 (99%) and least for Measles 2nd dose and DPT booster (52%). Inadequate knowledge about immunization was the most common reason for partial and un-immunization. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, factors like religion (Hindus had 2.843 odds of being partially immunised than other religions), availability of Immunization card (Those without Immunisation card had 2.025 odds of being partially immunised than those with immunisation card) and place of immunization (Those immunised at private facilities had 1.441 odds of being partially immunised than those at government facilities), were found to be significantly associated with the immunization status of the child.Conclusions: Government facilities remain the main pillars of immunisation. Coordination with Anganwadi centres is the key. Tracking of the child for subsequent doses of immunisation remains a challenge.
