Insights

Timely birth dose vaccination in Nigeria is low. Maternal education, antenatal care, hospital delivery, and immunization knowledge are key factors for early presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Immunization Practices

Background:

  • Timely immunization is crucial for early child protection.
  • A significant proportion of infants in Nigeria do not receive birth dose vaccines on time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with timely presentation for birth dose vaccination.
  • To determine reasons for delayed vaccination beyond 24 hours in Ilorin, Nigeria.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive cross-sectional study of 480 mother-infant pairs was conducted.
  • Data collected included socio-demographics, antenatal care, delivery details, and vaccination dates.
  • Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with timely presentation.

Main Results:

  • Only 49.8% of infants received vaccination within the first day.
  • Maternal post-secondary education, antenatal care attendance, and hospital delivery were linked to timely presentation.
  • Knowledge of the immunization schedule tripled the odds of early presentation; weekend/holiday deliveries were common reasons for delay.

Conclusions:

  • Hospital delivery, antenatal care, higher maternal education, and immunization knowledge promote timely birth dose vaccination.
  • Interventions should address out-of-hospital births and weekend/holiday deliveries.
  • Integrating immunization education into school curricula may improve vaccination timeliness.

Dose Size and Dosing Frequency: Determination Methods

Determining the optimal dose size and dosing frequency in pharmacotherapy is crucial for achieving therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing adverse effects. This article explores the methodologies employed in determining these parameters, focusing on their significance and interplay to tailor dosing regimens.Dose Size: Dose size refers to the amount of a drug administered in a single dose. It is determined based on the drug's pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics properties and...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Birth Control Methods

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

Self-Presentation

Self-presentation is a fundamental aspect of social interaction, shaping both how others perceive individuals and how they view themselves. This dynamic process influences behaviors in various social settings, often leading people to adjust their appearance, speech, and demeanor to align with their desired identity. While self-presentation can be deliberate or unconscious, it plays a critical role in interpersonal relationships and self-perception.Forms of Self-PresentationSelf-presentation can...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...
