Primary immunization coverage among children using lot quality assurance sampling technique in rural field practice area of a Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Kruthika N, Shashikala Manjunatha.

Abstract
Background: In India, immunization has been a central goal of the health-care system from the 1970�s, but universality is yet to be achieved.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the primary immunization status of children aged 12�23 months using lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) technique in three primary health center (PHC) areas and estimate the dropout rates.

Materials and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in three PHC areas of a Medical College Hospital, Bengaluru. LQAS technique was applied in 10 lots and 190 children aged 12�23 months were included. Lots are judged as acceptable or unacceptable based on the decision value, and dropout rates are estimated.

Results: By 1 year of age, 92.6% of children were fully immunized, 7.4% were partially immunized, and no child was found to be unimmunized. One lot was found to be low performing. Dropout rate was 0.5%, 2.1%, and 3.2% between DPT1-DPT2, DPT2-DPT3, and DPT3-Measles, respectively.

Conclusion: LQAS technique could be used to identify areas needing resource assignment to improve immunization coverage.

Key words: Children; Karnataka; Lot Quality Assurance Sampling; Primary Immunization Coverage
