“…Immunization coverage among children can be influenced by many factors, including those related to access to health care, knowledge, attitudes and practices of providers and parents, and sociodemographic characteristics. [18][19][20][21][22][23] In examining the independent association between age at administration of the first dose and completion of the 3-dose hepatitis B vaccine series and the 4:3: 1:3 vaccine series, we were unable to adjust for all of these factors. Since we used SUDAAN for multivariate analysis, we also did not have a goodness-of-fit measure.…”

“…Childhood immunization is recognized as the most effective medical means to control infectious diseases; it is cost-effective, reduces morbidity, and prevents further outbreaks of infectious disease 1. Although immunization is remarkably effective, children are still becoming infected with preventable diseases, resulting in debilitating disorders and even death.…”

PurposeThis study was aimed to determine the status and related factors of age-appropriate immunization among urban-rural children aged 24-35 months in a 2005 population-based survey in Nonsan, Korea.Materials and MethodsWe conducted household survey and provider check using questionnaire and checklist to obtain data on immunization status for children, aged 24-35 months. Age-appropriate immunization was defined as status of receiving the fourth diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (4 DTP), 3 Polio, the first measles-mumps-rubella (1 MMR) doses, and the 4 : 3 : 1 series.ResultsAge-appropriate immunization rates were 51.7% for 4 DPT, 88.0% for 3 Polio, 87.9% for 1 MMR, and 50.3% for the 4 : 3 : 1 series. First-born children, lower perceived barrier scores, and higher perception of immunization data were significantly related to age-appropriate immunization.ConclusionThe findings indicated that age-appropriate immunization rate could be improved by implementing reminder/recall service and providing the knowledge about immunization. Identification and consideration related factors would improve immunization rate and age-appropriate immunization.

Objetivos. Estimar as oportunidades perdidas de vacinação antitetânica e a cobertura vacinal ao final da gravidez em gestantes de Juiz de Conclusão. A baixa cobertura vacinal, inferior aos níveis recomendados pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, e o índice elevado de oportunidades perdidas de imunização antitetânica apontam para a necessidade de se instituir uma estratégia de incentivo à vacinação, direcionada aos profissionais de saúde em geral e especialmente àqueles responsáveis pelo atendimento das gestantes, tanto em postos de saúde quanto em clínicas privadas. Além disso, a rotina de vacinação em Juiz de Fora deve ser intensificada.Tétano, complicações infecciosas na gravidez, vacinação. RESUMOO tétano é uma doença infecciosa, não contagiosa, causada pela ação de uma exotoxina produzida pelo Clostridium tetanii sobre o sistema nervoso central (CNS) (1). É uma doença de fácil prevenção que, anualmente, causa cerca de 309 000 mortes. São motivo de preocupação especial o tétano neonatal e o tétano materno, ambos evitáveis através da imunização da mãe durante a gestação. Estima-se que, no ano de 2000, o tétano neonatal sozinho foi responsável por 200 000 mortes em 57 países, estando 90% dessas mortes concentradas em 27 países (2). Em algumas comunidades pouco desenvolvidas, o tétano ainda é responsável pela maioria das mortes neonatais.
