Immunization coverage among infants in Nigeria continues to be low despite availability of effective vaccines and accessibility of immunization clinics in urban areas. This study was conducted to determine the vaccination default rate and vaccine schedule that is most frequently defaulted. It also documented reasons for the defaults and suggested ways of minimising them. The immunization status of 174 children aged 9-11 months were determined by interviewing mothers regarding their children's immunization histories. Each child's immunization card was subsequently reviewed for confirmation. Overall default rate for the entire recommended series of vaccines was 26.7%. Measles vaccine was the most frequently defaulted. The commonest reason given by respondent mothers for defaulting immunization clinic appointments was the child's ill-health (37.5% of all cases). Immunization clinic appointment default rate is still high in Benin City, with measles vaccine being the most frequently defaulted. We therefore suggest ways of minimising vaccination clinic appointment defaults.

“…The result of this study was similar to other findings in an Italian study in which 57.8% of parents had adequate knowledge-practice (KP), supported by a study in India (10) that found parental knowledge regarding vaccination adequate. 10,13 It was found that majority of children were vaccinated on the basis of their mothers' perception about benefits and associated vaccination risks. Another study showed that parents knew that immunization was required for school registration .…”

“…30,31 In addition, the results are supported by an Italian study of mothers which showed that mothers' lack of knowledge regarding vaccination is an important reason for failure to complete the immunization schedule. 13 Another study revealed that parents' good knowledge could not explain the low immunization rate of their children.…”

Background: Immunization is one of the most effective, safest and efficient public health interventions. Despite the concrete efforts of government and other health agencies, a large proportion of vulnerable infants and children in India remain unimmunized. In order to improve immunization coverage, factors such as knowledge, attitude and practices of parents/caretakers are known to contribute to success or failure of immunization program. The aim of present study is to assess the knowledge and practice of mothers with respect to immunization completeness of their child.Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study involving 364 mothers attending immunization OPD in Government Medical College, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India during month of September till December 2015.Results: 78.5% children were completely immunized as per date. 57.97% of the study population was found to have adequate knowledge-practice scores. A significant association of immunization completeness with KP scores of mothers (p<0.05) was found.Conclusions: Future efforts are required to improve immunization rate and parents' knowledge and practice.

O presente trabalho, que focaliza cognições maternas acerca de temas relacionados ao desenvolvimento humano e à maternidade, apresenta resultados parciais de projeto de pesquisa longitudinal e transcultural mais amplo 1,2 .Ribas Jr RdC, Moura MLSd, Bornstein MH. Cognições maternas acerca da maternidade e do desenvolvimento humano: Uma contribuição ao estudo da psicologia parental. Rev Bras Crescimento Desenvolv Hum 2007; 17(1):104-113.Resumo: O presente estudo investigou três tipos de cognições parentais (conhecimentos acerca do desenvolvimento infantil e da criação de filhos, autopercepções parentais e atribuições de causalidade parentais) e teve três objetivos: 1) ampliar nosso conhecimento sobre cognições de mães brasileiras acerca da maternidade, 2) comparar resultados da presente investigação com os de estudos anteriores e 3) investigar associações entre as cognições maternas e entre essas cognições e determinadas variáveis sociodemográficas. Ao todo, 66 mães primíparas, com idades acima de 18 anos, de famílias intactas, residentes na cidade do Rio de Janeiro participaram do estudo. As mães responderam a versões brasileiras de quatro instrumentos (Inventário de Conhecimento do Desenvolvimento Infantil, Autopercepção do Papel Parental, Questionário de Atribuições Parentais, Escala Marlowe-Crowne de Desejabilidade Social) e um questionário sociodemográfico. As mães responderam corretamente a 63% das questões do instrumento que avaliou conhecimento parental, indicando que seu conhecimento sobre o desenvolvimento infantil pode ser ampliado. Em termos de autopercepções, os aspectos mais positivamente avaliados pelas mães foram a satisfação e investimento no papel parental. As mães tenderam a avaliar as causas externas (e.g., comportamento do filho) como mais importantes do que as internas (e.g., esforço), tanto para o sucesso quanto para o fracasso nas atividades parentais. Várias associações entre as cognições maternas e delas com variáveis sociodemográficas (e.g., educação) foram identificadas. Os resultados foram, em larga medida, consistentes com estudos nacionais e internacionais anteriores e podem contribuir para o entendimento das cognições parentais como um sistema complexo. Diversos motivos têm sido apresentados para justificar a investigação da cognição parental. Pode-se argumentar, por exemplo, que um maior conhecimento de cognições sociais relacionadas à criação de filhos contribui para um melhor
