The mobile nature of the population of Khayelitsha makes it imperative that opportunities for immunisation of children are exploited at every visit to health services. Previous studies have demonstrated a high incidence of missed opportunities for immunisation at curative health services. The occurrence of undetected opportunities for immunisation are compared at two primary care institutions: one in which curative and preventive services are provided separately, and one in which these functions are integrated. Far fewer opportunities for immunisation were missed at the integrated service, underscoring the urgency of integrating child health services throughout the country.
卡雅利沙人口的流动性使得每次前往医疗服务机构时都必须利用为儿童免疫接种的机会。以往研究表明，在治疗性医疗服务中存在大量免疫接种机会错失的情况。对两家初级保健机构未被发现的免疫接种机会进行了比较：一家是分别提供治疗和预防服务的机构，另一家是将这些功能整合在一起的机构。在综合服务机构中错失的免疫接种机会要少得多，这凸显了在全国整合儿童健康服务的紧迫性。
