We assessed vaccination coverage rates among children born between 1989 and 1994 (0-2 years of age) and tried to find the underlying causes of incomplete immunization. Of 662 children surveyed, 326 were from Tikrit city (urban) and 336 were from three rural villages. The coverage rates for BCG, DPT-OPV (first dose), DPT-OPV (second dose), DPT-OPV (third dose), measles, MMR, and DPT-OPV (first booster) were 97%, 97%, 94%, 92%, 83%, 70% and 59% respectively in Tikrit city; in rural areas they were 92%, 65%, 57%, 41%, 42%, 32%, and 25% respectively. The most common causes of incomplete immunization were unawareness and ignorance for both urban and rural areas. The percentage of children completely immunized declined between 1989 and 1994, both in urban and rural areas.
我们评估了1989年至1994年出生儿童（0至2岁）的疫苗接种覆盖率，并试图找出免疫接种不完全的潜在原因。在接受调查的662名儿童中，326名来自提克里特市（城市），336名来自三个乡村。在提克里特市，卡介苗、百白破-口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（第一剂）、百白破-口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（第二剂）、百白破-口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（第三剂）、麻疹、麻腮风三联疫苗和百白破-口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（第一次加强剂）的接种率分别为97%、97%、94%、92%、83%、70%和59%；在农村地区，这些接种率分别为92%、65%、57%、41%、42%、32%和25%。城市和农村地区免疫接种不完全的最常见原因是缺乏意识和无知。1989年至1994年期间，城市和农村地区完全免疫儿童的比例均有所下降。
