This paper examines the importance of certain social and demographic factors in the acceptance of child immunization in rural Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The major findings concern the importance of the role of the community (hamlet) leader in motivating or instructing parents to seek immunization for their children. While these leaders can be effective in conveying information about availability of immunization services, they are not in a position to provide education on immunization function or procedure. The survey results also show that knowledge of the disease-prevention function of the specific vaccines is important, and it is recommended that vaccines be given names which incorporate the name of the disease which they prevent.
本文探讨了印度尼西亚日惹农村地区某些社会和人口因素在儿童免疫接种接受度方面的重要性。主要研究结果涉及社区（小村庄）领导人在激励或指导家长为其子女寻求免疫接种方面的作用的重要性。虽然这些领导人能够有效地传达免疫接种服务可获得性的信息，但他们无法提供关于免疫接种功能或程序的教育。调查结果还表明，了解特定疫苗的疾病预防功能很重要，建议给疫苗命名时纳入其所预防疾病的名称。
