Background: Immunization coverage in India has increased over the decades and has led to decrease in child mortality. However challenges remain in terms of partial and no immunization and its causes. This study assesses the immunization status of children attending the immunization clinic and the reasons for partial or non-immunization at tertiary care government hospital of Agra district.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study and included all children between ages 9 months and 5 years during the study period. A pre-design, semi-structured, face validated and pilot tested was used after written informed consent of care givers. Data was analysed using SPSS.Results: Of the 652 children enrolled the mean age was 24.2 months. Most of the children were born in an institution (95.2%) and were from an urban area (81.9%). More than one-thirds of the children, 40.2% (n=262) were fully immunized for their age. Of the 390 partially or unimmunized the most common cause was no knowledge of vaccination‎/next dose (n=120, 30.8%) and inaccessibility/transport issues (n=120, 30.8%). On logistic regression sex of the child, mother’s education and occupation, family type were found to be significantly associated with the immunization status.Conclusions: This study indicated low full immunization and high partial immunization among attendees of immunization clinic in the institution; with lack of knowledge and transport difficulties being the primary reasons for it.

Parents are their children's primary health decision makers, their knowledge towards immunization in general have a significant effect on the immunization status of their children. A descriptive (cross-sectional study) was conducted to assess parents' knowledge toward immunization and its relation with pediatric immunization compliance at primary health care centers in Karbala city, Iraq A non-probability (convenience) sample of 292 parents selected from (5) primary health care centers. These centers distributed throughout (2) primary health care sectors selected randomly as (20%) from each sectors. The results of the present study indicated that the majority of studied parents had moderate level of knowledge, which was a significant associated with their age of fathers, level of education of father and mothers, occupational status of mothers, family type, , more than sixty present of studied parents have children partially immunized. In addition, the present study revealed that parents' knowledge not had a significant influence on child's immunization status. So, this study recommendedit is necessary to raise parents awareness of the importance of immunization by implementing educational programs and by traditional and social media with emphasis on time, side effects, contraindication, and disease preventable by immunization and promote periodically assessment for immunization coverage.

“…Various studies indicated that the main factors affecting defaulting from immunization were the age of the mother, maternal education, exposure to mass media, antenatal care (ANC), mother’s occupation, birthplace, birth order, place of residence, region, and distance to health care intuitions [ 18 – 24 ].…”

Background In Ethiopia, despite the considerable improvement in immunization coverage, the burden of defaulting from immunization among children is still high with marked variation among regions. However, the geographical variation and contextual factors of defaulting from immunization were poorly understood. Hence, this study aimed to identify the spatial pattern and associated factors of defaulting from immunization. Methods An in-depth analysis of the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS 2016) data was used. A total of 1638 children nested in 552 enumeration areas (EAs) were included in the analysis. Global Moran’s I statistic and Bernoulli purely spatial scan statistics were employed to identify geographical patterns and detect spatial clusters of defaulting immunization, respectively. Multilevel logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with defaulting immunization. A p value < 0.05 was used to identify significantly associated factors with defaulting of child immunization. Results A spatial heterogeneity of defaulting from immunization was observed (Global Moran’s I = 0.386379, p value < 0.001), and four significant SaTScan clusters of areas with high defaulting from immunization were detected. The most likely primary SaTScan cluster was seen in the Somali region, and secondary clusters were detected in (Afar, South Nation Nationality of people (SNNP), Oromiya, Amhara, and Gambella) regions. In the final model of the multilevel analysis, individual and community level factors accounted for 56.4% of the variance in the odds of defaulting immunization. Children from mothers who had no formal education (AOR = 4.23; 95% CI: 117, 15.78), and children living in Afar, Oromiya, Somali, SNNP, Gambella, and Harari regions had higher odds of having defaulted immunization from community level. Conclusions A clustered pattern of areas with high default of immunization was observed in Ethiopia. Both the individual and community-level characteristics were statistically significant factors of defaulting immunization. Therefore, the Federal Ethiopian Ministry of Health should prioritize the areas with defaulting of immunization and consider the identified factors for immunization interventions.
