Immunization remains a prominent arsenal in the fight against vaccine preventable diseases. The process of immunization has gradually evolved in India from when it was launched in 1978 as Expanded programme on immunization through Universal Immunization Programme in 1985 and Mission Indradhanush in 2014. The basket of vaccines provided have increased and full immunization coverage (FIC) has been raised from 43.5% to 62.0%. Immunization remains one of the most costeffective public health interventions and largely responsible for reduction of vaccine preventable under-5 mortality rate. The Government of India has set an ambitious goal to achieve 90% FIC in all districts of the country and sustain the coverage through immunization system strengthening. However there remains constraints of drop-outs, left-outs, partially immunised and nonimmunized in order to achieve this goal. Various studies have explored unawareness, forgetfulness, absence of prior intimation, unavailability of vaccines, fear of side effects, lack of motivation, cultural taboos and ABSTRACT

Cross sectional study of immunization coverage in urban slum areas of Lucknow region

The global vaccine action plan 2011-2020 calls on all the countries to reach more than 90% national coverage and more equitable access to existing vaccines for people in all communities by 2020. Roughly three million children die due to vaccine preventable diseases and approximately 34 million children are not completely immunized every year, with almost 98% of them living in developing countries. In 2016, approximately 123 million children received at least one dose of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP1) vaccine and only 103.5 million received all three DTP doses during the first year of life. Of these defaulters, 16% is from India.

Not covered enough: inadequate age appropriate immunisation in urban slums of Delhi: a community based cross sectional survey

Background: Physical inactivity has been identified as one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases. Several studies have established the fact that shift working is associated with various non communicable diseases. Studies assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice towards physical activity amongst shift workers is almost non-existence even though it has been established that mediators like knowledge and attitude affect healthy behaviour and adoption of health improving behaviour. Thus this study aims to assess the knowledge-attitude-practice of physical activity among shift workers in Gurugram city which is the centre of various BPO/KPO companies in India.Methods: The present study is an organization based cross sectional study. Interviewer administered questionnaire were used to capture information on physical activity. Information on knowledge and attitude was collected using a piloted and pretested questionnaire. Practice of physical activity was collected using global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ). Descriptive and linear regression analyses were performed using Ms-Excel and STATA (13).Results: Our study found that nearly fifty percent of the study participants were physically inactive and only 18% of the study participants knew recommended minimum weekly intensity of physical activity. Physical activity was found to be significantly associated with overall knowledge score (p<0.01).Conclusions: Knowledge regarding physical activity among the study participants was not adequate as reflected in their physical activity practice, hence knowledge and awareness towards physical activity should be enhanced to prevent non communicable diseases amongst the shift workers.
