Immunisation practice in an inner city clinic.

L Polnay, N Horn

    Health Trends
    |January 9, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Most children in an inner-city clinic did not complete immunisations on time. However, many eventually received crucial vaccines like diphtheria, tetanus, and measles by age three, despite delayed schedules.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Childhood immunisation is critical for disease prevention.
    • Adherence to recommended vaccination schedules is a key public health indicator.
    • Inner-city populations may face unique barriers to timely healthcare access.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the timeliness of the immunisation process in an inner-city child health clinic.
    • To assess the uptake of key childhood vaccines by age three.
    • To identify deviations from recommended immunisation schedules.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of immunisation records at a single inner-city child health clinic.
    • Analysis of completion rates within recommended timeframes.
    • Assessment of vaccine uptake by age three, including triple vaccines, Dip/Tet, and measles.

    Main Results:

    • Only 5% of children completed their immunisation courses within the recommended timeframe.
    • By age three, 78% of children had received three injections (triple or Dip/Tet vaccines).
    • Measles immunisation was completed by 63% of children by age three.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant delays in childhood immunisation are prevalent in this inner-city setting.
    • While schedules are often not met, substantial vaccine uptake is achieved by age three.
    • The implications of delayed immunisation on disease susceptibility and public health require further investigation.
