| Abstrak/Abstract |
Background: Yogyakarta Province is the only province in Indonesia that piloted IPV immunization since September 2007. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the implementation of this new program. This study was aimed to determine the coverage and timeliness of the IPV immunization after 2.5 years of its introduction. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out using the WHO standard cluster sampling to estimate the immunization coverage in urban Yogyakarta City and the remaining rural districts in Yogyakarta Province. The subjects consisted of children aged 12-23 months old and their parents. A questionnaire was used to acquire information from parents/caregivers on demographic, socioeconomic, and IPV immunization status, dates, location, and access of immunization. Epi InfoTM 2003 software was used for data entry and analysis. Result: Overall, 426 children were involved in the study (215 in urban and 211 in rural areas). The coverage for IPV1 through IPV4 was 100%, 99.8%, 99.3%, and 96.7%, respectively. There was no difference in coverage by urban/rural location, parents’ education level, number of siblings, and distance to health service. The coverage is very similar to that of survey in 2004 when this province still used oral polio vaccine. The mean ages of IPV administration were 2.3, 3.5, 4.8, and 9.4 and no significant difference among urban and rural areas was found. More than 95% children received IPV immunization at appropriate age. Conclusion: The IPV pilot project in Yogyakarta Province has been implemented well with high coverage and appropriate timeliness. |
