Abstract

Background: IMMUNIZATION is the most efficacious and cost effective intervention available to improve the health and wellbeing of CHILDREN and prevention of infectious disease. Methods: The goal of this research was the determination of KNOWLEDGE and behavior of PARENTS about VACCINATION of under 6 year-old CHILDREN in Zahedan. This study was descriptive analytic. The sample size was 1066 persons (father or mother) and the data was collected with a questionnaire containing PARENTS' specifications (gender, age and education level). The collected data was analyzed with Chi-square test. Results: rom 1066 persons 756 persons (70.9%) had moderate KNOWLEDGE, and 159 persons (14.9%) had low KNOWLEDGE about VACCINATION. 844 persons (79.2%) had performed complete and 222 persons (20.5%) incomplete VACCINATION for their CHILDREN. In this study we found significant relation between KNOWLEDGE and age, as well as educational level and information source of PARENTS (p<0.001). The relationship between parent's behavior about VACCINATION and her age (p=0.2), and her education level (p=0.1) was not significant, but relationship between PARENTS behavior and information source was significant (p=0.007). PARENTS' information source was Radio, TV, journals, books and newspapers, friends, physicians and health care workers.Conclusion: PARENTS KNOWLEDGE about VACCINATION is an important factor in prevention of infectious diseases, so it will be rewarding to work on increasing PARENTS' KNOWLEDGE about VACCINATION by any available means.
