Routine immunization coverage in Chandigarh was assessed, finding 72.23% of children fully immunized. Efforts are needed to improve vaccination rates, especially in urban slum areas, to achieve universal immunization goals.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Routine immunization coverage in India shows a declining trend, with only 38% of children fully immunized.
  • A rapid assessment was conducted during National Immunization Day (PPI) to evaluate immunization status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the immunization status of children aged 12-23 months in urban, rural, and slum areas of Chandigarh.
  • To identify disparities in immunization coverage across different geographical settings.

Main Methods:

  • A rapid assessment technique was employed.
  • The study included 796 children, proportionally representing urban, rural, and slum populations.

Main Results:

  • 72.23% of children were fully immunized, 22.99% partially, and 4.64% unimmunized.

  • Full immunization coverage in urban slums was lower at 58.66%.
  • Vaccine-specific coverages included BCG (93.09%), DPT1/OPV1 (93.97%), DPT2/OPV2 (90.57%), DPT3/OPV3 (85.92%), and measles (76%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Routine immunization programs require strengthening, particularly for underprivileged groups in urban slums.
    • Targeting efforts towards these areas is crucial for achieving universal immunization coverage goals.
