A cross sectional study was carried out to assess immunisation coverage among 257 urban and 339 rural children aged 13-36 months who were vaccinated at pulse polio booths in Shimla hills. 84.37% urban children and 57.59% rural children were fully vaccinated. BCG scar was negative in a large number of children, especially from rural areas. Increasing maternal education was associated with complete immunisation. OPV I-III dropouts were 3% among urban children and 15% among rural. The corresponding dropout rates for DPT I-III were 1% and 8% respectively. The immunisation coverage in this region was higher than others. Sustained efforts are required to achieve full immunisation coverage and eradicate polio and measles.
开展了一项横断面研究,以评估在西姆拉山区脊髓灰质炎强化免疫接种点接种疫苗的257名城市和339名农村13至36个月大儿童的免疫接种覆盖率。84.37%的城市儿童和57.59%的农村儿童完成了全程接种。大量儿童,尤其是农村地区的儿童卡介苗疤痕呈阴性。母亲受教育程度的提高与全程免疫接种相关。城市儿童口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗I-III剂次的漏种率为3%,农村为15%。白喉、百日咳、破伤风三联疫苗I-III剂次的相应漏种率分别为1%和8%。该地区的免疫接种覆盖率高于其他地区。需要持续努力以实现全程免疫接种覆盖率,并根除脊髓灰质炎和麻疹。
