Emphasis is placed on the need for further health education about the importance of completing the full series of recommended vaccinations, of having vaccinations on time, of checking a child's vaccination history whenever they are in contact with the health care system and, where necessary, administering over-due immunizations [6].
A cross-sectional study was conducted to calculate the coverage rate for children aged 0-2 years from 1989 to 1994 in comparison with the recommended immunization schedule for their age.
In conclusion, there is still a large gap in immunization coverage between urban and rural areas in Saladdin Governorate and the main cause of incomplete immunization is inadequate health education for mothers.
