“…Chhabra P et al observed similarly that dropout rate increases with subsequent vaccination. 18 Over all dropout rate (Birth -Measles) in our study was 18.91 % which is less than study done in urbanized villages of Delhi where it was 49%. 18 In our study common reasons for partial/non immunization were postponed due to illness of child (29%), lack of knowledge of immunization schedule/ subsequent doses (28%) and lack of motivation (20%).…”

Childhood vaccination prevents 2 million deaths per year worldwide and is widely considered to be 'overwhelmingly good' by the scientific community .Immunization prevents illness, disability and death from vaccine-preventable diseases including diphtheria, measles, pertussis, pneumonia, polio, rotavirus diarrhea, rubella and tetanus . Parental decisions regarding immunization are very important for increasing the immunization rate and compliance and for decreasing any possible immunization errors. Parents' knowledge and practices regarding immunization are the major factors that contribute to their vaccination decisions .So this study aimed to increase public awareness and attention about the importance of childhood vaccination and its rule on preventing a serious groups of disease and the risks of non-vaccination . In this study we detected the parents fears,opinions and knoldge regarding vaccine and its possible side effects . also, to identify the causes of un-vaccination in the same population The study population includes all Al-Madinah population, whose ages between (20-60) years old, mothers, fathers and single ones, a random sample of (300) persons were selected, they answered the electronic questionnaire, (55) of them were excluded based on the exclusion criteria, then the sample consisted (245) person . Results of the present study showed that parents in Al-Madinah , Saudi Arabia have had good knowledge and positive attitudes on most of aspects related childhood immunization.The most of participants rise in temperature after taking the vaccination is one of the symptoms that indicate the effectiveness of vaccination and immunity of the child. Scientifically vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever.

Background: Immunization averts a large number of children in each year. The burden of vaccine preventable diseases remains high in developing countries compared to developed countries. To overcome from this burden different types of immunization programs have been implemented. For better immunization coverage in developing countries, considerable progress is to be made to improve the knowledge and awareness regarding importance of vaccines. In this study a comparative study of immunization coverage under two sampling methods has been performed. Methods: In this study variance and design effect of proportion of children vaccinated against different types of vaccines (BCG, OPV, DPT, Hepatitis B, Hib, Measles and MMR) are estimated under two stage (30 × 30) cluster and systematic sampling for comparison of these two survey sampling methods. Also the homogeneity of clusters has been tested by using chi-square test. Results: It is observed that BCG, OPV and DPT vaccination coverage is more than 90% whereas Hepatitis B, Measles, Hib and MMR vaccination coverage is between 50% -64% only. Here systematic random sampling is more complicated than two stage (30 × 30) cluster sampling. Also the result shows that the clusters are homogeneous with respect to proportion of children vaccinated. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the two survey methodologies regarding the point estimation of vaccination coverage but estimation of variances of vaccination coverage is less in two stage (30 × 30) cluster sampling than that of the systematic sampling. Also the clusters are homogeneous. Very less improvement has been observed in case of fully vaccination coverage than the previous study. From the study it can be said that two stage (30 × 30) cluster sampling will be preferred to systematic sampling and simple random sampling method.
