To determine the vaccination coverage for children 12-23 months and to identify reasons for nonvaccination, we conducted a community-based survey in Al Mukalla district. Information about vaccination status and related barriers was collected for 210 children: 82% were fully vaccinated, 12% were partially vaccinated, and 5% were not vaccinated. Drop-out rate between DPTI and DPT3 was 3.1%. Combining the evidence of vaccine cards and parent's history, the coverage for OPV1 was 94.3%, OPV3 91.4%, measles 90%, and BCG 88.1%. Reasons for not vaccinating included lack of information (54%) and existence of obstacles (35%). There is a need to raise the awareness of families about vaccination and to expand continuous outreach sessions to cover all children.
为了确定 12-23 个月儿童的疫苗接种覆盖率，并确定未接种疫苗的原因，我们在穆卡拉区进行了一项基于社区的调查。我们收集了 210 名儿童的疫苗接种状况和相关障碍信息：82%的儿童完全接种了疫苗，12%的儿童部分接种了疫苗，5%的儿童未接种疫苗。DPTI 和 DPT3 之间的失访率为 3.1%。结合疫苗接种卡和家长病史的证据，OPV1 的覆盖率为 94.3%，OPV3 为 91.4%，麻疹为 90%，卡介苗为 88.1%。未接种疫苗的原因包括缺乏信息（54%）和存在障碍（35%）。有必要提高家庭对疫苗接种的认识，并扩大持续外展活动，以覆盖所有儿童。
