OBJECTIVES
A lack of correct awareness about immunization among parents put them at risk of falling prey to the anti-vaccine movement. This risk is present even in countries with a high vaccine uptake. This study was done with the objective of assessing the awareness of parents childhood vaccination.
RESULTS
In this study conducted among 141 parents accompanying children to a routine clinic we found that 53.2% of the participants had average or above average knowledge. Level of knowledge was associated with the level of education (OR: 2.7, 95% CI 1.4-5.4) and the sex of the parent (OR: 3.4, 95% CI 1.2-9.3). While our sample size is small, we recommend educational programmes for parents to strengthen their knowledge on vaccination to safeguard the continuity of a successful control of vaccine preventable diseases.
目的
父母对免疫接种缺乏正确认识，使他们有成为反疫苗运动受害者的风险。即使在疫苗接种率高的国家，这种风险也存在。本研究旨在评估父母对儿童疫苗接种的认识。
结果
在这项针对141名陪同孩子前往常规诊所的父母进行的研究中，我们发现53.2%的参与者具有平均或高于平均水平的知识。知识水平与教育程度（比值比：2.7，95%置信区间1.4 - 5.4）和父母性别（比值比：3.4，95%置信区间1.2 - 9.3）相关。虽然我们的样本量较小，但我们建议为父母开展教育项目，以加强他们对疫苗接种的知识，保障成功控制疫苗可预防疾病的持续性。
