This study evaluated childhood vaccination coverage in India using WHO-recommended methods. Findings reveal significant gaps in full immunization, highlighting the need for improved strategies to boost vaccine uptake and reduce dropouts.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Immunization Practices

Background:

  • Vaccination coverage is crucial for child survival and disease prevention.
  • Monitoring immunization rates is essential for public health interventions.
  • Previous studies indicated challenges in achieving optimal vaccination coverage in certain regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the vaccination coverage among children aged 12-23 months in a specific region of India.
  • To identify the extent of full, partial, and no immunization.
  • To determine dropout rates for key vaccines and explore reasons for incomplete immunization.

Main Methods:

  • Cluster sampling methodology based on the WHO module 'Evaluate Vaccination Coverage' was employed.
  • Data was collected from 215 eligible children aged 12-23 months.

  • Vaccination status (fully, partially, unimmunized) and dropout rates for Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DPT), and Tetanus Toxoid (TT) were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 44.65% of children were fully immunized.
    • 38.61% of children were partially immunized, and 16.74% were unimmunized.
    • Dropout rates were 21.23% for OPV and DPT, and 4.03% for TT.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant proportions of children remain under-immunized, indicating a need for enhanced public health efforts.
    • High dropout rates for OPV and DPT suggest systemic issues in vaccine delivery or parental adherence.
    • Recommendations are proposed to improve vaccination coverage and reduce dropout rates based on identified factors.
