Boby Dutta, Ripunjoy Sonowal
Abstract :
Immunization is one of the services provided by the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. It is one of the key interventions for protection of children from life threatening conditions, which are preventable. This paper attempts to understand the implementation and impact of immunization service among two socio–economically poor rural communities – the Hajong and the Kaibartta of Tinsukia district, Assam. Regular immunization of Hajong and Kaibartta children were recorded as 64% and 90.11% respectively. Socio–cultural and economic factors like low level of mother’s education, poverty, traditional mindset, irregularly organized immunization camp, communication gap between the Anganwadi workers and the mothers, etc. are the key obstacles in immunization of children.
