dc.description.abstractA KAP evaluation of urban educated parents revealed suboptimal, superficial transfer of immunization knowledge. Poorer dose-related knowledge as compared to vaccine awareness contributed to partial immunization. Non-availability of vaccine contributed to 18.7% unprotected children, and therefore all logistics must be overcome to remedy service default. The unacceptable level of knowledge found in final year nursing and medical students, points out the need to restructure immunization related teaching in our hospitals. Incorporation of immunization based knowledge in high school curriculum is also recommended. It is important that areas of relevant information and education must be delineated time to time with increasing vaccination coverage.en_US
