This study assessed the immunization status of children aged under 2 among BRAC
member and non-member households. Data were obtained from a total of I ,872 children.
during April 1994 to December 1996, residing in I 00 villages of 4 rural thana.,·. Namely
Saturia, Santhia, Mirzapur and Kazipur Complete immunization coverage rate (children
having all 6 vaccines) was lower among BRAC member households (77%) compared to
non-member households (eligible and non-eligible) (80-82%). The immunizations
coverage rates for BCG, OPT and polio were much higher (over 90%) in all gruops of
households compared to the coverage for measles (around 60%). The difference between
OPT and polio vaccines and memvership status was staristically significant (p<0.05).
Immunization coverage was significantly (p<O.OO I) associated with different areas
among different types of households, the coverage varing between 92% in saturia and
75% in Kazipur. It was also observed that the retention of card was not emphasized to the
mothers and they were not the vaccine card; only 53% children had vaccine cards and the
rest 47% did not It indicates that the campaign about vaccination was insufficient. To
improve full immunization coverage all over the country, more campaign on
immunization is needed. Also, BRAC should investigate why complete immunization
was less among BRAC member households compared to non-member households. |
