| description | Introduction: It is very important to analyze the factors which
acts as obstacle in achieving 100% immunization among
children. Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) is one of the
effective method to assess such barriers.
Aim: To assess the full immunization coverage among 12 to 23-
month old children of rural field practice area under Department
of Community Medicine, Agartala Government Medical College
and identify the factors for failure of full immunization.
Materials and Methods: A community based cross-sectional
study was conducted from November 2013 to October 2014
on children aged 12 to 23 months old of area under Mohanpur
Community health centre. Using LQAS technique 330 samples
were selected with multi-stage sampling, each sub-centre being
one lot and two calculated to be the decision value. Data was
collected using pre-designed pre-tested questionnaire during
home visit and verifying immunization card and analysed by
computer software SPSS version 21.0.
Results: The full immunization coverage among 12 to 23 months
old children of Mohanpur area was found as 91.67%. Out of
all the 22 sub-centres, 36.36% was found under performing
as per pre-fixed criteria and the main reasons for failure of
full immunization in those areas are unawareness of need of
subsequent doses of vaccines and illness of the children.
