Abstract:

Context: Immunization coverage survey apprises how many children were immunized correctly and the reason for dropouts. Information obtained from an immunization coverage survey can be used at all levels of the health system.

Aims:
1. To assess the coverage of BCG, MR, and New vaccines (Fipv, Fractional dose Inactivated polio vaccine) optional vaccines, in the study area.
2. To find out reasons for drop out, if any
Settings and Design: Community-based, cross-sectional study.
Methods and Material: WHO’s standard EPI 30 cluster sampling technique is used for assessing the vaccine coverage. In the present study, 30 villages around the Rural Health Training Centre were selected.
Statistical analysis used: analysis was done using SPSS version 24Univariate analysis with chi-square test, and students t-test was done to find factors associated with vaccination status.
Results: Only a single dose of IPV and MR vaccine was taken by 84% and 80% of children, respectively. Lack of motivation due to rumors or no faith in immunization was found to be the most common reason for vaccines, i.e., 44.9% for IPV and 46.5% for MMR.
Conclusions: Supplementary immunization activities can help achieve the goal of 95% coverage for the Measles-Rubella vaccine to reach elimination.
