“…However, the association between childhood vaccination status and maternal age is controversial in the literature [5, 6, 8, 22, 24, 33]. Our previous study conducted among the children aged 5–9 years old has shown that full vaccination increases with maternal age [30].…”

“…Numerous studies have shown the association between failure to vaccinate or complete the vaccination schedule and maternal/paternal occupation or low socio-economic status of the household, as maternal/paternal occupation is often considered to be a proxy for the level of income/socio-economic status of the household [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22, 23, 36, 37, 38, 39]. Maekawa et al found no association between vaccination status and maternal/paternal occupation in Lao PDR [40].…”

“…The identification of factors resulting in the failure to vaccinate or to complete the vaccination schedule is important in order to achieve the EPI targets [13, 14]. The utilisation of vaccination services and completion of the recommended schedule are determined by numerous factors [5, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. A systematic review by Rainey et al and a review by Favin et al identified reasons for failing to vaccinate or to complete the vaccination schedule, and categorised these into four groups according to whether factors were related to 1) the immunisation system, 2) communication and information, 3) family characteristics, and 4) parental attitudes and knowledge [8, 23].…”

Vaccines are one of the most important achievements in public health, and a major contributor to this success is the Expanded Programme on Immunization. The utilisation of vaccination services and completion of the recommended schedule are determined by numerous factors. In Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), the overall immunisation coverage has been improving. However, notwithstanding the improvement in immunisation coverage and the supplementary immunisation activities, there have been measles, diphtheria, and polio outbreaks in the country. The recent multicounty study of household health surveys revealed that the within-country economic-related inequality in the delivery of a vaccine was still high in Lao PDR.Our previous work evaluated the factors associated with vaccination status among the children aged 5–9 years old, which was older age group for this type of study. This study evaluated factors that affect vaccination status among children aged between 12 and 35 months. It is a nationwide population-based cross-sectional study that used data obtained through multistage cluster sampling. We found that the proportion of infants who were fully immunised was lower than the national target and that “maternal ethnicity” (odds ratio (OR) 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20–0.60), “paternal education” (OR 1.87, 95% CI: 1.12–3.10), and “source of information about vaccination date by medical staff” (OR 1.65, 95% CI: 1.01–2.71) were significantly associated with the children’s vaccination status. Numerous factors are associated with the completion of the recommended vaccine schedule, and some factors are location-specific. Identification of these factors should lead to actions for facilitating the optimal use of vaccination services by all the children in Lao PDR.

“…The Polish study showed that healthy controls are more likely to be vaccinated against influenza than children with IBD by a factor of 2 [10]. Ganczak et al [27] reported low nonreimbursed vaccination uptake among Polish children. This can be attributed to promotion of the pneumococcal vaccine, which, in Poland, is focused on children and individuals older than 65 years of age, and does not target individuals with chronic immune-mediated diseases.…”

The use of nonmandatory vaccines recommended in family members of patients with IBD is insufficient. Further vaccine promotion and education of patients as well as their healthcare providers is required. A particular concern is associated with the pneumococcal, influenza, rotaviruses, and varicella infections. Nonimmunized and varicella-zoster virus-seronegative patients should be vaccinated, and in case of immunosuppression, vaccination of children in the household is required.

“…The range of coverage across all ages and years was found to be the following: 95-97% for the polio vaccine, 91-97% for the MMR vaccine, 94-97% for the hepatitis B vaccine, 90-95% for the varicella vaccine, and 66-91% for pneumococcal conjugated vaccine [33]. In Poland, the costs of some vaccines are not reimbursed, and the coverage rates for children up to 5 years old for the pneumococcal, influenza, meningococcal and rotavirus vaccines were 36.4%, 14.3%, 13.3%, and 12.7%, respectively [34].…”
