Abstract

Results of 45 cluster sample surveys to evaluate the immunization coverage in Iran during 1986 is reported. Overall, 55% of children between the ages of 12-23 months have complete immunization. Apart from mothers' knowledge and motivations, residence in the rural areas and utilization of antenatal care show positive association with immunization coverage. On the other hand, maternal tetanus immunization, hospital delivery and education of birth attendants for deliveries outside hospital, and the sex of the child do not seem to be associated with the child's immunization status. These and other results are discussed.
