Abstract:
An interviewed survey on 147 mothers who have small children was carried out in some communes in Hue city to evaluate their knowledge, attitude and practice in vaccineation against measles. The results showed that most of the interviewed mothers (> 87%) had good knowledge about the severity of measles infection, the susceptibility of their children with measles virus and transmission of this disease. The mother’s acceptance to vaccineation against measles is good; this implies the efficiency of the vaccination program.
