“…Other research finding showed that mothers' awareness upon the immunization schedule has a strong influence on the complete immunization to infants [20]. Meanwhile, Sutopo stated that the impact of mothers having low knowledge was not giving or delaying immunization to their children [21]. This immunization coverage survey used UNICEF recommended form.…”

Immunization coverage in every city/regency must be conducted in accordance with the standard coverage to suppress infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. Temanggung regency is one of the cities/regencies in Central Java Province that have not reached 100% of village universal coverage immunization (UCI). The aim of this study was to determine the coverage of complete basic immunization in infants in Temanggung regency. The design of this study was descriptive observational with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The respondents of the research were parents having babies and the sample size was 520 children. The instrument used was the Rapid Card Check Form recommended by UNICEF. The results showed that there were still infants who had not been immunized. The reasons were that the infants had low birth weight, sick children during immunization, and no support from parents. As the immunization program aims to reduce infant and child mortality, parental awareness is important to increase immunization coverage in Temanggung regency.

IntroductionIn Myanmar, there are significant disparities in the delivery of immunisation services and barriers to service accessibility, particularly in border regions, conflict-affected areas, physically and geographically hard-to-reach areas, urban slums and migratory populations. The study aimed to explore the predictors for complete immunisation among 18-month to 24-month-old children in the urban slum area of Hlaingthayar Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from 21 to 25 July 2018. A total of 298 mothers of 18-month to 24-month-old children were recruited from the urban slum areas under five randomly selected wards by applying the cluster sampling method. Multiple binary logistic regression was performed to explore the predictors for complete immunisation. A significance level of 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsOut of a total of 298 children, 120 (40.3%) children were completely immunised, and the immunisation coverages ranged from 52.7% for the second dose of measles-rubella vaccine to 81.9% for the first dose of oral polio vaccine. Multivariate logistic regression model revealed that mothers having university and above education (AOR=2.65, 95% CI 1.07 to 6.56), mothers with permanent residency (AOR=2.19, 95% CI 1.16 to 4.15), primiparous mothers (AOR=1.76, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.95), mothers with medium knowledge (AOR=2.38, 95% CI 1.07 to 5.30) and high knowledge about childhood immunisation (AOR=5.89, 95% CI 2.23 to 15.60), and mothers with positive perception of childhood immunisation (AOR=2.26, 95% CI 1.33 to 3.85) were the significant predictors for complete immunisation among children.ConclusionThe proportion of complete immunisation was low, and associated with maternal education, residency, parity, knowledge and perception of childhood immunisation. Having a comprehensive understanding of these predictors will facilitate the government and other relevant stakeholders to establish effective strategies promoting access to immunisation services among the urban slum communities in Myanmar.
