Abstract:Objective. The COVID-19 virus disrupts the renin-angiotensin system by reducing the expression of angiotensin-2 converting enzyme receptors in host cells, inducing an inflammatory response. This system regulates ovarian follicular development and ovarian steroid hormone production. So, this study has been conducted to examine the possible effects of COVID-19 vaccines on the menstrual cycle of Iranian women.

“…When a child is vaccinated, it not only safeguards their health but also plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases to others within the community. Immunization acts as a vital tool for creating herd immunity, where a significant portion of the population is immune, thereby reducing the likelihood of outbreaks and protecting those who may be more vulnerable to infections [4][5][6]. Moreover, immunizing children with the appropriate vaccinations yields substantial economic benefits.…”
Objective. The objective of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of mothers regarding the immunization of their children and find out the factors associated with it.M a n u s c r i p t a c c e p t e d f o r p u b l i c a t i o n 2 Materials and Methods. A prospective, cross-sectional study of seven months duration was carried out among 206 mothers, satisfying the inclusion criteria of having at least one child of less than 5 years of age. The socio-demographic details and other relevant information pertaining to the subjects were collected by using the data collection form and newly developed and validated questionnaire. The knowledge, attitude and practice of the subjects were assessed by using suitable statistical methods. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 29.0 was used to analyze the data.Results. The mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores of the total subjects enrolled in the study was found to be 4.17 ± 0.85, 3.61 ± 1.08 and 4.06 ± 0.99 respectively. Age, number of children and occupation were found to be the factors significantly associated with knowledge, attitude and practice levels of the subjects.
Conclusions.The findings of the present study may form the basis of all future implications to improve the level of knowledge, attitude and practice towards the immunization of their children, which ultimately contributes to better health outcomes.
