Knowledge and Attitude of Nursing Mothers and their under Five Infants on Immunization Regimen in Makun Health Center, Ogun State
Keywords:
Immunization, Knowledge, Attitude, Nursing Mothers
Abstract
Immunization is the process whereby a person is offered protection from or is made resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines act by stimulating the body’s immune system to protect the person against subsequent infections or diseases (WHO, 2018). Many parents have poor understanding of vaccine preventable diseases and believe in false propagations about the contents, side effects and effectiveness of vaccines. Parents lack realization that a vaccine preventable disease can do more harm than a vaccine. Some even believe childhood immunization as a covert method of sterilization. However, this study is aimed at determining knowledge and attitude of nursing mothers and their under-five infants on immunization regimen in Makun Health Center, Ogun state. The significance of this project work is to encourage nurses to improve on increasing the information transferred to patients during antenatal and postnatal visits regarding immunization as well as to improve the community mobilization into the communities to improve the knowledge and attitude of mothers of under-five to immunization.
