Analysis on the characteristics of delayed EV71 vaccination among children in the birth cohort from 2017 to 2022.

What are the key findings of this study?

EV71 vaccination is important for children, but many kids in Suzhou are not getting their shots on time. Between 2017 and 2022, only about 21% to 32% of them got at least one dose. Most kids should get vaccinated by 6 months, but many wait until they are older. Also, vaccinations are often delayed, especially in winter. Learning more about the best times for vaccinations can help parents and health workers ensure kids are protected. 🌞
