INTRODUCTION:
Despite establishing immunization as an effective approach, the number of deaths from immunizable diseases among 0 to 14 years old remained high in 2012. This prompted the researchers to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices of mothers/caregivers regarding the immunization of their children.
METHODS:
The research utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. An interviewer-guided validated questionnaire was administered to mothers and caregivers with at least one child 12 months or younger who was eligible for immunization.
RESULTS:
Around half of the 211 respondents were aged 20-35 years old, married and living in their own home. A large percentage were unemployed, and the highest educational attainment was high school. Most respondents had one child in care undergoing immunization, mostly in a health center. Results showed that all respondents scored below the MPL for knowledge. For attitude, all scored above the MPL. Only 45.02% of mothers/caregivers scored above the MPL for practices.
CONCLUSION
Despite poor knowledge, mothers and caregivers displayed good attitude towards immunization, however this did not translate into bringing their children for vaccination.

Background:
Significant efforts are being done to lessen the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases. However, missed
opportunities for vaccination due to unfavorable clinic hours and the long waits at the clinic deter adults from obtaining
vaccinations. Likewise, adult patients are rarely provided with their own vaccination record, which could heighten their
awareness and remind them of the recommended vaccines they need to obtain, leading to being not vaccinated. At the
outpatient clinic, promoting high-impact and cost-effective preventive services such as vaccination will not only save
monetary expenses but more importantly, will lead to incidence reduction of vaccine –preventable diseases.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to determine effectiveness of Patient-Held Paper Immunization Record and
Immunization Express Lane in increasing the vaccination rate among adult patients at FMC OPD.
Subjectives and Setting:
Study population consisted of adult patients at the Family Medicine Clinic (FMC)-OPD, with
the following criteria: ages 19 years old and above regardless of co-morbidities and vaccination status; those who are
consulting as new or follow-up patient at FMC-OPD from March- May 2016.
Design:
The study utilized a before-and-after study design on the effectiveness of Patient-Held Immunization Record and
Immunization Express Lane in increasing vaccination utilization among adult patients at FMC-OPD.
Data Collection:
To determine baseline vaccination rate, chart reviews were done after each consult day. The
sociodemographic data and vaccination data were gathered using the data obtained from the vaccination logbook.
Results:
66 adult patients who were vaccinated during the implementation of vaccination strategies were mostly
elderly, married, with no work, college graduate, Manila resident, known hypertensive, informed by physician regarding
vaccination, and obtained vaccination during clinic consults. Pneumococcal vaccine had the highest proportion (84%)
of administered vaccine. Prior to the intervention, baseline vaccination rate yielded 0.04%. After implementation of the
combined vaccination strategies, the generated vaccination was 1.17%. There was a 28.25% increase in vaccination rate.
Conclusion
The use of combined vaccination strategies, consisting of Patient-Held Immunization Record and Immunization
Express Lane was effective in increasing the vaccination rate among adult patients at the FMC-OPD.
