This study was carried out to assess mother’s knowledge,
attitudes and practices concerning the vaccination program and
its impact on achieving the presumed goals; however the results
of the study may be limited due to the fact that it was carried on a
group of mothers who were already seeking medical care. Results
showed a favorable attitude towards children immunization in
mothers and that the mothers attending health care facilities are
well informed about obligatory as well as additional vaccines
with only small percentage of mothers having concerns regarding
the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Parent’s education was found
to be the most important factor affecting the efficacy of the
vaccination program.
