“…On the other hand, incomplete-or-noimmunization puts the children at risk of infection from the diseases like Polio, Measles, Tuberculosis and other vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). And, immunization against the VPDs among the children reduce the risk of mortality and morbidity associated with these deadly infectious diseases 2 . It was estimated that during 2008, seventeen percent of all the deaths among children age 0-59 months were vaccine preventable 3 .…”

“…This suggests that one in every three children does not achieve their full developmental potential 3 . As part of the public health challenge, India could not achieve the targeted Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and lagged behind in terms of the child health indicators like nutritional status and immunization 2 . Maintaining an improved child health, thus, becomes a key challenge for social and capital growth in the country 3,4 and through the sustainable development goals India is aiming to achieve zero hunger and malnutrition by 2030.…”

, a transition in the level of child health outcomes can be observed. The proportion of anaemia amongst children was 74.3 percent (1998-99) 12 , 69.5 percent (2005-06) 13 and 58.4 percent (2015-16) 14. Also, the proportion of full immunization amongst children was 42.0 percent (1998-99) 12 , 43.5 percent (2005-06) 13 and 62.0 percent (2015-16) 14. The proportion of stunted children has reduced by 15 percent from year 1998-99 (46%) to 2015-16 (38%) 14 (Supplementary File S1). The country has achieved continued financial progress (over 5% growth in GDP) and decreased the poverty level by half (50% in 1993-94 to 22% in 2011-12). However, the improvement in the child health outcomes are still not at par with the international targets set by the MDGs 10,11. Existing literature suggests that nutritional status, blood anaemia level and VPDs, play a vital role in determining the overall development of child health 10,15. Stunting can be defined as a severe form of undernutrition and is identified as the height that is below two standard deviations from the median child growth standard laid by the World Health Organization (WHO) 16. Stunting proliferates the risk of poor health, which may affect scholastic and economic well-being of an individual in their later life 13,15. WHO defines anemia as a condition where either the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity becomes insufficient to satisfy the physiological needs of an individual's body 1. Children suffering from anaemia have weak immunity and are therefore at higher risk of having infections. Moreover, iron deficiency which is supposed to be the major cause of anemia highly affects the cognitive capacities like learning, memory and behavior of the children throughout their lifetime 16. Full immunization has emerged out as a worthwhile method to prevent a group of lethal diseases, generally referred to as VPDs 17. However, a large proportion of children in India, still do not receive all the doses of the full immunization schedule (around 40%) and it remains a key public health challenge 14. There is abundant literature which focuses on exploring the child health outcomes in terms of socioeconomic factors in different country settings. Though these studies explored the spatial heterogeneity and correlates of child malnutrition and different doses of full immunization coverage 15,17 , the relationship between child health (malnutrition) and health care utilization (immunization) with paternal characteristics has not been previously explored. Recent developments in public health research suggests that geospatial mapping and modeling of different demographic and epidemiological events by inter-linking different exposures help in the identification of the pockets and therefore, help in accurate resource allocation. This would, furthermore, help the government and policymakers to address the need of the community and, therefore, achieve the latest targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-2015-30. Thus, the present study aims to explore th...

Abstract Background:Vaccine Preventable Diseases are still the most common cause of childhood mortality with an estimated of approximately 3 million death every year mainly in Africa and Asia and about 29% of deaths among children aged 1–59 months were as a result of vaccine preventable.Despite the benefit of childhood immunization uptake, routine vaccination coverage for all recommended Expand Program on Immunization vaccines has remained poor in some African countries such as Nigeria (31%), Ethiopia (43%), Uganda (55%) and Ghana (57%). The aim of this study is to collate evidence on the factors that influences childhood immunization uptake in Africa and also provide evidence for future researchers in developing, implementing and evaluating intervention among African populations that will improve childhood immunization uptake.Methods: We conducted a systematic review of articles on the factors influencing under-five childhood immunization uptake in Africa through using various keywords and we searched multiple databases (Medline, PubMed, CINAHL and Psychology and behavioural data collection) dated from inception to 2019. Results: Of 17,208 records citations retrieved, 240 abstracts were screened leading to 46 included studies: Thefactors that were found to influence the childhood immunization uptake were classified into modifiable and non-modifiable factors and were further classified into different groups based on its relevance. Themodifiable factors include: obstetric factors, maternal knowledge, maternal attitude and self-efficacy and maternal outcome expectation. Whereas non-modifiable factors were sociodemographicfactors of parent and child, logistic factors and administration factors.Conclusion: There were different factors found to be influencing under-five childhood immunization uptake among parents in Africa. Immunization health education intervention should be designed among pregnant women using social cognitive theory SCT which will enable researchers to tackle cognitive factors as well as some environmental factors that could be modifiable which may hopefully improve childhood immunization uptake in a country with poor coverage like Nigeria.

“…Greater than 90% and 95% of RBD and PDBD were UVRP and susceptible to HBV infection. Irrespective of blood donor category, the number of VRP was low probably due to the fact that most research participants resided in rural settings [29] . The results of analyses showed that higher HBsAb + seroprevalence was observed among the unvaccinated group (4.68%) compared to the vaccinated group (2.55%).…”

Background: Current evidence-based data on Hepatitis B vaccination coverage and outcomes in Nigeria are limited and these raise serious concern among stakeholders in clinical settings with respect to prevention of hepatitis B and safety of transfusion recipients. This study evaluated hepatitis B vaccination coverage and outcomes among apparently healthy blood donors in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Methods: Hepatitis B viral markers, including hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), were serologically screened in four hundred and seventy prospective blood donors using NOVA 5-in-1 HBV rapid one-step multi-test kit and the results were interpreted using descriptive statistics of SPSS version 21. Results: Out of the four hundred and seventy (470) blood donors screened, 85 (18.1%) and 385 (81.9%) were vaccinated research participants and unvaccinated research participants (VRP and UVRP) respectively. Male: Female ratio and mean age (±SD) of VRP were 1:1 and 26.5 ± 6.8 while those of the UVRP were 1.6:1 and 26.9 ± 7.7. Evidence of successful vaccination was observed in 2.55% and 4.68% of VRP and UVRP respectively. Broad spectrum HBV infection totaling 11.05% based HBV markers seroprevalence was observed among the UVRP compared to the VRP with 0.85% seroprevalence. Conclusion: Low hepatitis B vaccine coverage among blood donors poses serious threats to public health including recipients of blood transfusion and hepatitis B vaccination programme should be re-strategized to cover the grass roots. Low HBV infection among the vaccinated research participants compared to the unvaccinated group showed long-term protection despite HBsAb loss. Post-vaccination testing is recommended for specific categories of individuals.
