“…12 or 3.9% of respondents also blamed the unsatisfactory services provided by the clinic. This supports the study of Joshi et al [21] where they acknowledged that one of the biggest factors ofany healthcare facility's success is patient satisfaction. Also, 13 or 4.2% of respondents stated that their defaulting immunization was due to the inadequate information provided to them about immunization by the healthcare providers, while 21 (6.9%) respondents said that they were overseas at that time.…”

Introduction: Immunization is one of the most cost-effective strategies for reducing child mortality. There is a vital need to assess parents’ barriers involving child immunization completion to improve and increase vaccination coverage and completeness. Objective: To determine the barriers of child immunization completion among parents in the Community Health Centre of Johor Bahru. Methodology: The Maternal and Child Health Clinic, Jalan Abdul Samad providing primary immunization was selected via non-random and convenience sampling. Children between1 month to 2 years old who were immunized were identified. Data were obtained from parents who brought in their children for primary vaccination at the Maternal and Child Health Clinic, Jalan Abdul Samad. Results: The response rate for this study was 100% (n=306). All the eligible parents who were approached by the researchers agreed to participate in this research. Out of all respondents, 3 (1.0%) completely refused the immunization of their child, 23 (7.5%) defaulted with the immunization, and 280 (91.5%) completed the immunization. In terms of perception towards immunization, 60 or 19.6% of the total respondents stated that their preference for alternative treatments is their main reason if they decide not to have their children vaccinated. After adjusting for socio-demographic differences, the researchers discovered that parents who have significantly lower coverage for all 10 childhood vaccines themselves were less likely to agree that vaccines are necessary to protect the health of children, to believe that their child might get a disease if they aren't vaccinated, or to believe that vaccines are safe. Conclusion: This first systematic evaluation of immunization refusal in Malaysia showed that a small number of parents refused immunization.

Background: Routine immunization (RI) is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions, fi rst introduced in India in 1978. Yet, despite the concerted efforts of the government and other health agencies, a large proportion of vulnerable infants and children in India remain unimmunized. Objectives: Objective of this study was to know about perception of caretakers of benefi ciaries about RI in terms of knowledge about vaccines and vaccine preventable diseases and reasons for missed opportunity of immunization. Materials and Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted during January-June 2012 in a rural area of Jamnagar district. A total of 200 children aged 12-24 months were selected using stratifi ed random sampling method. Results: Nearly 52% children were fully immunized. Most common reasons for partially immunization were sick child (68.9%) followed by vaccine not available (32.3%) and being outside on the day of session (31.11%). Nearly 61% Guardians knew about Polio vaccine, main source of information about RI was health worker (83.5%). There was statistical signifi cant association between education of mother and immunization status of children. Conclusion: There is a need to strengthen Information Education Communication activities to improve knowledge regarding immunization among people, motivation of health workers to disseminate information regarding immunization.

“…This finding is comparable to a finding from a study conducted in Debre markos town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia which reported the overall dropout was 5% (Gualu et al, 2017). The finding is lower from a report from a study conducted in Bareilly District 37.3% (Joshi et al, 2011). This might be related to the difference in the delivery of the service in the two study areas.…”
