Overview

Community-based study shows low vaccine awareness affecting vaccination practices in urban slum parents, indicating improvement is needed.

Key Points

  • Lack of awareness about vaccines leads to suboptimal immunization practices among parents.
  • Despite high immunization coverage, only 54% of mothers know vaccines prevent diseases, endangering under-5 children.
  • A community-based cross-sectional study involved 1074 mothers, revealing significant vaccination knowledge gaps.
  • Continued education efforts are necessary to correct misconceptions and improve vaccination literacy among mothers.
