    Low parental education and larger family size are key factors in children not completing recommended vaccinations. Identifying at-risk children prospectively can improve immunization compliance.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Childhood immunization is crucial for public health.
    • Understanding factors influencing vaccination completion is essential for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with incomplete childhood vaccination series.
    • To assess the impact of healthcare provider type on vaccination rates.

    Main Methods:

    • State-wide survey of 1,003 2-year-old children's vaccination status.
    • Analysis of demographic variables (parental education, family size, socioeconomic status, race) and healthcare provider type.
    • Statistical analysis to determine independent associations with vaccination completion.

    Main Results:

    • 72.5% completed a basic vaccination series; 40.8% completed an optimal series.
    • Higher paternal/maternal education, smaller family size, and higher socioeconomic status were associated with higher completion rates.
    • Children with one parent having <12 years education or ≥3 siblings had a fourfold higher risk of incomplete immunization.
    • Children with private physicians had better vaccination rates than those attending health department clinics, even after controlling for socioeconomic status.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental education and family size are significant predictors of childhood vaccination status.
    • Targeted interventions for high-risk children, identified by these factors, can improve immunization compliance.
    • Healthcare system factors, such as provider type, also play a role in vaccination success.
