A Community-Based Survey Exploring the Determinants of Invalid, Delayed, and Missed Immunization in Children of Urban Slums of Karachi, Pakistan
In children, the global burden of vaccines-preventable diseases (VPDs) and deaths can be averted by adopting timely immunization practices. Administering immunization to a child within 28 or 30 days of the designated immunization date is referred to as timely immunization. Besides timely immunization, immunization non-compliance (invalid or delayed or missed immunization) increases the risk of various forms of VPDs and death in children, particularly living in urban slums.
