Abstract :
Aim: To study the factors for partial or non–immunization of children attending Mission Indradhanush camps conducted in the rural field practice area of a tertiary care hospital.
Objectives:
1. To study the socio–demographic profile of the children below 2 years attending the vaccination camps and its influence on their immunization status.
2. To assess the reasons for partial and non–immunization immunization amongst the study subjects.
Methodology: A cross sectional study included children below 2 years attending immunization camps conducted under Indradhanush Mission. Sample sizes of 107 study subjects were interviewed using semi–structured questionnaire
Results: 42% of children completely immunized while 6.5% were unimmunized and 51.5% were partially immunized. Low education status of mother, low family income and migration were found positively associated with low vaccination coverage. The main reason for noncompliance was as unaware about follow up (58%), family busy at work (45%) followed by health facility too far (43.5%).
