| Summary: | This study investigated the association of immunization coverage with some selected
socioeconomic variables in rural Bangladesh. It was conducted in 75 villages in I 0 areas of
five administrative divisions. The eligible interviewees were the mothers having a child of
age 12 to 23 months living in the ~elected villages. Both paternal and maternal education
of 4-5 years of schooling were found to have a significant influence on immunization. No
significant association exists between immunization coverage and child's sex. household
land and labor sale. Parental religion impacts significantly. Exposure to media like radio
increases predictability of immunization by about two folds. Most people favor none or
minimal userfee, therefore restricting the self-sustainability of the program. An increase in
parental education enhances affordability of userfees. |
