Abstract
Abstract: Vaccination is one of the most cost effective specific protections for child survival. Government of India is committed to safeguard all newborns and infants from the common vaccine preventable diseases by immunizing them under the Universal Immunization Programme. The utilization of the services depends on both the service provider and the users. This acceptance of service goes a long way in improving the health status of the children. The study aims to observe the utilization of the immunization services provided in a tertiary care hospital. Hospital-record based desk evaluation of the services provided in the well-baby clinic of Jorhat Medical college Hospital done for a period of one year. Of all the antigens, BCG institutional dose had the highest acceptance (100%). Dropout rate of BCG to Measles-I was 94.8% and that of Pentavelent-1 to Pentavalent-3 was 25.2%. Only 3.2% children were observed to be completely immunized. To reach the WHO recommended levels of immunization, improved awareness generation is mandated so as to improve the acceptance of the services provided.
