Investigation on the Awareness and Influencing Factors of Polio Vaccine among Children's Guardians in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai
Objective To understand the awareness of children's guardians in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai on polio vaccine,and to investigate the factors affecting the awareness rate.Methods The guardians of children who were born in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai from March 1st,2016 to September 30th,2019 with no polio vaccination history or only one dose of inactivated vaccine vaccination history were selected.A unified questionnaire was designed to calculate the awareness of the vaccine and the factors that may affect the awareness.The independent influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression model.Results A total of 230 questionnaires were collected in this study,109 children's guardians(47.39%)knew the preventable diseases of polio vaccine,127(55.22%)knew the"2+2"vaccination scheme of polio vaccine,and 58(25.22%)knew the difference between bivalent oral attenuated polio vaccine(bOPV)and inactivated polio vaccine(IPV).The monthly income of a family below 6000 yuan was an independent risk factor for knowing the preventable diseases of polio vaccine[OR=1.486,95%CI(1.024,2.157)],and it was also an independent risk factor for knowing the"2+2"vaccination program of polio vaccine[OR=1.704,95%CI(1.165,2.494)].Conclusion The awareness rate of children's guardians in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai on polio vaccine is generally low,especially for guardians whose monthly income is less than 6000 yuan,and guardians'awareness rate of the difference between bOPV and IPV is the lowest.We should make full use of new media to carry out polio vaccine publicity and education in a variety of ways,especially the publicity of bOPV and IPV,focusing on low-income people.
