Pacific Patterns in Primary Health Care: A comparison of Pacific and all patient visits to doctors: The National Primary Medical Care Survey (NatMedCa): 2001/02. Report 7

AIMS: To determine rates of immunisation by 24 months of age, the number of times children were recalled and the cost of immunisation for a cohort of children in general practices in Wellington. METHODS: A prospective study of 979 children registered with 27 general practices. Children in the cohort were followed from 9-24 months old. Data collected included immunisation status, the number of times children were recalled and demographic data. RESULTS: At the end of the study period (when children reached 24 months of age) 803 (82%) remained with the practices and 176 (18%) had left. At 24 months 724 (74%) of the total cohort and 685 (85.3%) of registered children who stayed with the practice were fully immunised for the early childhood vaccinations. 54% of the cohort were fully immunised after a standard recall process. The average cost per child immunised was $13.33. CONCLUSION: It is possible to achieve high rates of full immunisation in children registered with a general practice using an effective system of facilitation and support.
