dc.description.abstractSixty two children who were diagnosed to be suffering from any of the six vaccine preventable diseases were studied to know their vaccination status prior to the occurrence of these diseases. A total of 33.9% of these children had developed these diseases inspite of full immunization. Nearly 75% of immunized children had received the vaccine from Government sources. The break-up diseases among the children studied was tetanus (35.5%), poliomyelitis and pulmonary tuberculosis (22.6% each), measles (11.3%), diphtheria (6.4%) and pertussis (1.6%). The vaccinated children who developed poliomyelitis belonged to a relatively higher age group. Seventy one per cent of measles cases developed bronchopneumonia as a complication. Seventy five per cent of the mortality in the children studied was due to tetanus neonatorum. Since one third of the children studied had developed diseases inspite of full immunization, it is inferred that closer monitoring of the Cold Chain System and intensive surveillance at peripheral levels are required.en_US
