Abstract

children vaccinated in Huelva regarding the information received about infant vaccines and vaccination coverage.
Method: transversal descriptive study conducted in health centres in Huelva with the mothers of 9-to-28-month-old children. An ad hoc questionnaire was used, which collected information on socio-demographic variables, and the level of vaccination for systematic vaccines and anti-pneumococcal vaccine, vaccines against rotavirus and chickenpox, and the reasons for accepting them or not. Data treatment: bivariate analysis through Student’s t-test for independent samples.
Results: the total number of mothers included in the study was 268. The mean satisfaction of mothers was 6.6 (standard deviation: 1.9) out of 10. The percentage of vaccination for the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was 64.4%; 22.9% for the rotavirus vaccine, and 21.4% for the chickenpox vaccine. High variability was evident between the different health areas. The children involved in this study received all systematic vaccines within the Andalusian Vaccination Program (PVA).
Conclusions: 100% of mothers took their children to receive free vaccines which are included in the PVA. However, those recommended vaccines, such as anti-pneumococcal, against rotavirus, and against chickenpox, were not administered with an aceptable coverage.
