Immunization activities of private-practice physicians: a record audit.

D B McDaniel, E W Patton, J A Mather

    Pediatrics
    |October 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Many children lack complete immunizations, especially those with irregular private physician visits. Incomplete schedules pose a significant challenge for private practices aiming for full childhood vaccination coverage.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Immunization Practices

    Background:

    • Childhood immunizations are critical for disease prevention.
    • Assessing immunization completion rates in private practice is essential for public health.
    • Previous studies highlight variability in pediatric immunization coverage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the immunization completion rates among 2-year-old children in private pediatric practices.
    • To identify factors associated with incomplete immunization schedules.
    • To compare immunization levels with national data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective audit of immunization records for 813 children aged 2 years.
    • Inclusion of data from 13 private-practice Idaho physicians.
    • Categorization of patients as 'active' or 'inactive' based on recent visits.

    Main Results:

    • Only 36% of children had completed all recommended immunizations.
    • Active patients (44%) had higher completion rates than inactive patients (8%).
    • Children solely seen by private physicians (38%) had better coverage than those using dual care (22%).

    Conclusions:

    • Inability to complete immunization schedules is a key issue for private practices.
    • Patient activity status significantly impacts immunization completion.
    • While vaccine-specific rates are comparable to national data, overall schedule completion needs improvement.
