Abstract
Immunizations are widely recognized as a major tool for achieving
public health successes.
It is the most cost-effective preventive health intervention presently
known in modern medicine, achieving high immunization coverage, tended
to decline the morbidity and mortality rates of vaccine-preventable diseases.
EPI in Egypt has achieved several successes in controlling vaccine
preventable diseases, including strong national vaccination coverage of over
90%, through an increase of vaccine coverage and continuous surveillance
leading to reduced illness, disability and death from vaccine-preventable
diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles and polio.
The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and practice among
healthcare providers regarding immunizations in primary health care settings
and identify the determinants for levels of knowledge and practices among
health care providers in these settings.
Our cross-sectional study was conducted in all primary health care
facilities in Shubra khit (One urban and 16 rural primary health care facility).
Our results showed that:
Age ranged between 21 - 59 years, 56.7% of workers were younger
than 40 years and 43.3% were 40 years or older. The Majority of healthcare
(97.3%) providers were females and Most of those (87.3%) were in the rural
units. The majority of healthcare workers (87.3%) had work experience of
less than 10 years. Most of the workers (85.4%) were of the nursing team.
