This study was undertaken to evaluate the reliability of parental reporting of their children's immunization status. One hundred eight consecutively admitted children to Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center were sampled during October and November 2001. Review of the immunization record, recording the immunizations documented, and matching it with the parents' report was done for children in whom the parents brought the cards. The primary care physician was contacted to verify the immunization status for children for whom the parents did not bring the card during hospitalization or for whom there was a mismatch between the card and the parents' report. The study included 100 patients (8 were excluded). Forty-nine patients had their immunization cards on admission; 18 brought the cards later during the hospital stay. Of the 100 parents questioned, 98 stated that their children are up to date and 2 stated that their children are missing vaccinations. Of the 98 parents who stated that their children are up to date, 2 were found not to be up to date. Ninety-eight percent of parents were aware of their children's immunization status and were accurate with their reporting. Parents are knowledgable of their children's immunization status (98% parental accuracy) and their statements can be relied on during history-taking. It is important for each child to have a primary care physician.
本研究旨在评估父母报告其子女免疫接种状况的可靠性。2001年10月和11月期间，对布鲁克代尔大学医院和医疗中心连续收治的108名儿童进行了抽样。对于父母带来接种卡的儿童，审查免疫接种记录，记录所记录的免疫接种情况，并将其与父母的报告进行比对。对于住院期间父母未带接种卡的儿童或接种卡与父母报告不一致的儿童，联系其初级保健医生以核实免疫接种状况。该研究纳入了100名患者（8名被排除）。49名患者入院时带有免疫接种卡；18名患者在住院期间后来带来了接种卡。在接受询问的100名父母中，98名表示他们的孩子接种情况正常，2名表示他们的孩子有疫苗漏种。在98名表示孩子接种情况正常的父母中，有2名被发现并非如此。98%的父母了解其子女的免疫接种状况，报告准确。父母了解其子女的免疫接种状况（父母报告准确率为98%），在问诊过程中他们的陈述可以作为依据。每位儿童拥有一名初级保健医生很重要。
