An evaluation survey on pulse polio immunization (PPI) was conducted in Union Territory of Chandigarh with a population of 88,100 children under the age of five years. Information was collected by interviewing the companions of 438 children in 18 polio centres, selected by stratified random sampling. Participation of children in the age-group of 4 and 5 years was found to be low. Awareness regarding various components of pulse polio immunization was found to be good in urban areas whereas it was unsatisfactory in slums. Two-dose-coverage of polio drops in 1996 campaign was recorded to be 81.5%. High risk pockets like slums need more attention for the success of polio eradication.
在昌迪加尔联合属地对88100名五岁以下儿童进行了脊髓灰质炎强化免疫评估调查。通过对18个脊髓灰质炎中心的438名儿童的陪同人员进行访谈收集信息,这些中心是通过分层随机抽样选定的。发现4至5岁年龄组儿童的参与率较低。城市地区对脊髓灰质炎强化免疫各组成部分的知晓情况良好,而在贫民窟则不尽人意。1996年活动中脊髓灰质炎滴剂的两剂接种覆盖率记录为81.5%。为实现根除脊髓灰质炎的目标,像贫民窟这样的高风险地区需要更多关注。
