Many children miss measles vaccination opportunities during health visits in Udaipur slums. Addressing these missed opportunities could significantly boost measles immunization coverage rates.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Immunization Practices

Background:

  • Measles immunization is critical for child survival.
  • Missed opportunities (MOs) for vaccination reduce overall coverage.
  • Understanding MOs in urban slums is vital for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of MOs for measles immunization in Udaipur slums.
  • To identify the reasons behind these MOs.
  • To estimate the potential impact of eliminating MOs on measles immunization coverage.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional, community-based study was conducted in 32 Udaipur slums.
  • 265 children aged 9-24 months were enrolled using cluster sampling.
  • Data collected included immunization status, health facility visits, and reasons for non-vaccination.

Main Results:

  • Measles immunization coverage was 50.61%.
  • The prevalence of MOs for measles immunization was 14.3%.
  • The primary reason for MOs was not offering vaccination during curative visits (86.9%).

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of children experienced MOs for measles vaccination.
  • Integrating vaccination into curative care presents a key opportunity to improve coverage.
  • Eliminating MOs could substantially increase measles immunization rates in the study population.
