“…Parents need encouragement and support when keeping track of the vaccination record of their children (Thorpe et al, 2016, Varkey et al, 2010). This may be particularly important in larger families with many children (Byington et al, 2015, Monto et al, 2014, Pearce et al, 2015, Amin et al, 2013, Oliveira et al, 2014). Current vaccination records however, are not designed to be used or understood by lay people.…”

Parents are often uncertain about the vaccination status of their children. In times of vaccine hesitancy, vaccination programs could benefit from active patient participation. The Vaccination App (VAccApp) was developed by the Vienna Vaccine Safety Initiative, enabling parents to learn about the vaccination status of their children, including 25 different routine, special indication and travel vaccines listed in the WHO Immunization Certificate of Vaccination (WHO-ICV). Between 2012 and 2014, the VAccApp was validated in a hospital-based quality management program in Berlin, Germany, in collaboration with the Robert Koch Institute. Parents of 178 children were asked to transfer the immunization data of their children from the WHO-ICV into the VAccApp. The respective WHO-ICV was photocopied for independent, professional data entry (gold standard). Demonstrating the status quo in vaccine information reporting, a Recall Group of 278 parents underwent structured interviews for verbal immunization histories, without the respective WHO-ICV. Only 9% of the Recall Group were able to provide a complete vaccination status; on average 39% of the questions were answered correctly. Using the WHO-ICV with the help of the VAccApp resulted in 62% of parents providing a complete vaccination status; on average 95% of the questions were answered correctly. After using the VAccApp, parents were more likely to remember key aspects of the vaccination history. User-friendly mobile applications empower parents to take a closer look at the vaccination record, thereby taking an active role in providing accurate vaccination histories. Parents may become motivated to ask informed questions and to keep vaccinations up-to-date.

Mothers who have unpleasant experience when they gave their infant immunization in healthcare facilities are likely to have negative attitude toward the subsequent immunization, thus they are not coming back to the health facilities to give immunization to their children.…”

Background: Complete Basic Immunization or Imunisasi Dasar Lengkap (IDL) Program is conducted as a disease prevention effort among children, however the CBI in Indonesia does not yet achieve national target. Bangkalan Regency is one of the regencies in East Java with low immunization achievement. The study aimed to analyze determinants that influence complete basic immunization status using PRECEDE-PROCEED model. Subjects and Method:The study was analytic observational study with cross sectional approach. The study was conducted at 10 community health centers, Bangkalan Regency, from AugustOctober 2017. A total sample of 200 mothers who have infant age 9-12 months old were selected using cluster sampling technique and purposive sampling. The dependent variable was complete basic immunization status. The independent variables were education, knowledge, occupation, attitude, distance of health care facilities, information exposure, family support, and health workers support. The data were colected using questionnaires and MCH book. The data were analyzed by path analysis. Result: Complete basic immunization status was influenced by attitude (b=0.82; 95% CI= 0.10 to 1.55; p= 0.027), health personnel support (b= 0.79; 95% CI= -0.10 to 1.67; p= 0.081), distance of healthcare facilities (b= -1.28; 95% CI= -2.13 to -0.44; p= 0.003), and information exposure (b= 1.52; 95% CI= 0.75 to 2.29; p= 0.001). Attitude was influenced by family support (b= 1.35; 95% CI= 0.71 to 2.00; p= 0.001) and knowledge (b= 2.29; 95% CI= 1.06 to 3.54; p= 0.001). Knowledge was influenced by information exposure (b= 1.54; 95% CI= 0.58 to 2.51; p= 0.002). Family support was influenced by occupation (b= 0.64; 95% CI= 0.03 to 1.26; p= 0.040). Occupation (b= 1.12; 95% CI= 0.51 to 1.75; p= 0.001) and knowledge (b= 1.27; 95% CI= 0.42 to 2.13; p= 0.003) were influenced by education. Conclusion: There is a direct and positive influence of attitude, health worker support, and information exposure toward complete basic immunization status. There is direct and negative influence of distance of healthcare facilities toward complete basic immunization status. There is indirect and positive influence of education, knowledge, occupation and family support toward complete basic immunization status. PRECEDE-PROCEED model can be used to analyze factors that influence complete basic immunization status.

“…90%), and Timor (61.1% vs. 97.0%) findings, the present figure is low because of the difference in vaccine set up and work ethics. For instance, in Egypt [3], the vaccination set up was entirely different from ours and inNigeria due to the difference in the method of vaccination and the set up [15] while in India better reception of clients [16] and in Timor good information delivery system were cited as important factors [17].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to examine barriers affecting client satisfaction with immunization services rendered in rural district, Ethiopia. A total of 419 caretakers who accessed the service were included and assessed for their satisfaction level using a pretested questionnaire that contained socioeconomic, demographic information, knowledge and various items related to process, service and accessibility factors on immunization service. The response rate was 99.3% and nearly two third of caretakers were satisfied with childhood immunization service. The majorities of caretakers were mothers and over three quarters had formal education. The highest mean rating score of 2.03 was observed in vaccine availability. The major determinants were related to low knowledge on vaccine preventable child illness; desire to vaccinate breastfeeding child and quality of care score. To maximize the benefits of vaccine preventable illnesses and improve the satisfaction levels, augmenting the knowledge of caretakers on vaccine preventable child illnesses and improving the quality of the service is crucial.
