Abstract

Two hundred and ten female and two hundred and ten male children aged 1-2 years were identified using 30 cluster random sampling technique in the Nagar Palika of Sitapur. The immunization status was determined to assess differences, if any, in the coverage in accordance with the sex of the child. Except for measles, a significantly higher vaccination coverage was observed for male children as compared to females for every vaccine, this being 65.2 and 60.9%, respectively for DPT III and OPV III for males as compared to 51.9 and 49.5%, respectively for girls. The drop out rates for DPT and OPV were also found to be higher (p greater than 0.05) in female children. However, no difference was observed in the reasons for non-immunization between the female and male children.

摘要

采用整群随机抽样技术，在西塔布尔市市政当局选取了210名1至2岁的女童和210名同龄男童。确定免疫状况以评估根据儿童性别在疫苗接种覆盖率方面是否存在差异。除麻疹外，每种疫苗的男童接种覆盖率均显著高于女童，例如，百白破三联疫苗第三剂和口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗第三剂的男童接种率分别为65.2%和60.9%，而女童分别为51.9%和49.5%。还发现女童的百白破疫苗和口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗的漏种率更高（p>0.05）。然而，在未接种疫苗的原因方面，女童和男童之间未观察到差异。
