A survey of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in eastern Zimbabwe showed a low valid immunization coverage by one year of age. While health personnel originally thought traditional and religious beliefs were to blame, the survey indicated the problem lay in the poor quality of EPI services. Focus group discussions with mothers confirmed this. Mothers were well informed, highly motivated and had many suggestions on how services could be improved, but were rarely given the opportunity to discuss them with health workers.
对津巴布韦东部扩大免疫规划（EPI）的一项调查显示，一岁儿童的有效免疫覆盖率较低。虽然卫生人员最初认为这是传统和宗教信仰所致，但调查表明问题在于EPI服务质量差。与母亲们进行的焦点小组讨论证实了这一点。母亲们消息灵通、积极性高，对于如何改善服务有很多建议，但很少有机会与卫生工作者讨论这些建议。
