in Chad, transmission of poliovirus has been interrupted in 2000, but imports from Nigeria and weakness of vaccination coverage are a major risk of disease reactivation. This study aims to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices of parents of children aged 0 to 5 years on vaccination against polio in Chad.
this cross-sectional study was carried out in the six districts of Abéché. Only households who had children under 5 years of age were included. Data were collected through interviews with parents and guardians of eligible children using a tested and validated questionnaire.
we interviewed 210 households. No family had a vaccination record notebook of their children. However, 97% reported vaccinated children who had participated in mass vaccination campaigns. About 97% were aware of poliomyelitis disease and 98% knew vaccination campaign. The most cited channels of information were radio (98%) and vaccinators (72%). Only 3% of parents reported refusing vaccination. There was an association between the negative influence of the relatives and the non-vaccination of children (p = 0.005).
disease and vaccine knowledge is good in Chad despite the existence of rumours about, in particular, vaccine effects. The lack of immunization cards limited the analysis of survey results which were only declarative with a very high declared vaccination rate. Immunization cards are essential for eradication in association with prevention policy.
在乍得，脊髓灰质炎病毒的传播已于2000年被阻断，但来自尼日利亚的输入病例以及疫苗接种覆盖率较低是疾病重新流行的主要风险。本研究旨在调查乍得0至5岁儿童家长对脊髓灰质炎疫苗接种的知识、态度和做法。
这项横断面研究在阿贝歇的六个区开展。仅纳入有5岁以下儿童的家庭。通过使用经过测试和验证的问卷对符合条件儿童的家长和监护人进行访谈来收集数据。
我们访谈了210个家庭。没有家庭有其孩子的疫苗接种记录手册。然而，97%的家庭报告其孩子参加过大规模疫苗接种活动。约97%的人知晓脊髓灰质炎疾病，98%的人知道疫苗接种活动。提及最多的信息渠道是广播（98%）和疫苗接种人员（72%）。只有3%的家长报告拒绝接种疫苗。亲属的负面影响与儿童未接种疫苗之间存在关联（p = 0.005）。
尽管存在特别是关于疫苗效果的谣言，但乍得对疾病和疫苗的了解情况良好。免疫接种卡的缺失限制了对调查结果的分析，这些结果只是陈述性的，且报告的疫苗接种率非常高。免疫接种卡对于与预防政策相关的根除工作至关重要。
