A key method of reducing morbidity and mortality is childhood immunization, yet in 2003 only 69% of Filipino children received all suggested vaccinations. Data from the 2003 Philippines Demographic Health Survey were used to identify risk factors for non- and partial-immunization. Results of the multinomial logistic regression analyses indicate that mothers who have less education, and who have not attended the minimally-recommended four antenatal visits are less likely to have fully immunized children. To increase immunization coverage in the Philippines, knowledge transfer to mothers must improve.
降低发病率和死亡率的一个关键方法是儿童免疫接种，但在2003年，只有69%的菲律宾儿童接种了所有建议的疫苗。利用2003年菲律宾人口健康调查的数据来确定未接种和部分接种疫苗的风险因素。多项逻辑回归分析结果表明，受教育程度较低且未进行至少四次建议的产前检查的母亲，其孩子完全接种疫苗的可能性较小。为提高菲律宾的免疫接种覆盖率，必须加强对母亲的知识传授。
