Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST jZ9R0xFH. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background In 1995, Egypt continued to experience endemic wild poliovirus transmission despite achieving high routine immunization coverage with at least three doses of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV3) and implementing National Immunization Days (NIDs) annually for several years. Methods Parents of 4188 children in 3216 households throughout Egypt were surveyed after the second round of the 1995 NIDs. Results Nationwide, 74% of children are estimated to have received both NID doses, 17% one NID dose, and 9% neither NID dose. Previously unimmunized (47%) or partially immunized (64%) children were less likely to receive two NID doses of OPV than were fully immunized children (76%) (P10 minute walk (P |
