Main Article Content
Abstract
Vaccination is one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. The expanded program on
immunization has significantly reduced the morbidity and the mortality of children under 5 years old
caused by infectious diseases. Alongside the achievements of the expanded program on immunization,
in recent years, some diseases that had vaccines still outbroke in some locals. To improve the
efficiency of the vaccination program, we conduct this study with this following target: To describe
the status of full and on schedule vaccination with 8 types of vaccines among children under 1 year
old at Quan Trieu Ward, Thai Nguyen City. Research subjects and methods: The descriptive, crosssectional study was conducted among 105 children by immediately interviewing the major caregivers
and checking the vaccination records. Research results: The complete vaccination coverage for each
vaccine: Hepatitis B: 99%, TB: 100%, DPT-Hib: 99%, polio: 99% and measles: 100%. The rates of
on-schedule vaccination for each type of vaccines are: Hepatitis B: 83.8%, TB: 87.6%, DPT-Hib:
83.8%, polio: 83.8% and measles: 71.4%. The complete vaccination coverage of 8 types of vaccines
is 99% whilst the on-schedule vaccination rate of 8 types of vaccines is only 57.1%.
