Abstract

Background: Immunization is a cost-effective weapon against vaccine preventable diseases. Children of migrant workers suffer from lack of immunization because of frequent shift of places, poor knowledge, and low socioeconomic status. To assess the immunization status of children 12-36 months of age of migrant workers and factors associated it. To identify the reasons for non-immunization or partial immunization among these children.

Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 migrant workers' children aged 12-36 months residing in Urban Bangalore east from February 2019 to August 2020. A cluster sampling method was incorporated. The data were collected using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Epi-info™ Version 7.2.1 and SPSS version-21. Data were summarized in percentages, mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression.

Results: The mean age of the children was 25.2340 ± 8.42 months. Out of 500 children, 88.60% were fully immunized, 11.40% were partially immunized, and no child was unimmunized. Significant predictors of immunization status of children were education of father and immunization card. Common reasons for dropout were inconvenient time (80.70%), unaware of need (77.19%), and busy schedule of parents (75.44%). The dropout rate of BCG to MR-1, Penta-1 to Penta-3, and Penta1to MR-1 was 6.49%, 0.85%, and 2.12%, respectively.

Conclusions: Immunization coverage in the present study was 88.60%. Inconvenient time was the main reason behind partial immunization.

班加罗尔东部城市地区 12-36 月龄外来务工人员子女的免疫状况及其相关因素。

背景：免疫接种是预防疫苗可预防疾病的一种经济有效的武器。外来务工人员的子女由于经常变换工作地点、知识贫乏和社会经济地位低下而缺乏免疫接种。评估外来务工人员 12-36 个月大儿童的免疫状况及其相关因素。找出这些儿童未接受免疫接种或部分接受免疫接种的原因：从2019年2月至2020年8月，对居住在班加罗尔东部城市的500名12-36个月大的外来务工人员子女进行了横断面研究。研究采用聚类抽样法。数据通过预先测试的半结构化问卷收集。数据使用 Epi-info™ 7.2.1 版和 SPSS 21 版进行分析。数据以百分比、平均值、标准差和逻辑回归进行总结：儿童的平均年龄为（25.2340 ± 8.42）个月。在 500 名儿童中，88.60% 的儿童接受了完全免疫接种，11.40% 的儿童接受了部分免疫接种，没有儿童未接受免疫接种。预测儿童免疫状况的重要因素是父亲的教育程度和免疫接种卡。辍学的常见原因是时间不方便（80.70%）、不知道需要（77.19%）和父母工作繁忙（75.44%）。卡介苗到 MR-1、五联疫苗到三联疫苗、五联疫苗到 MR-1 的辍学率分别为 6.49%、0.85% 和 2.12%：本研究的免疫覆盖率为 88.60%。结论：本研究的免疫覆盖率为 88.60%，时间不方便是部分免疫的主要原因。
