Far fewer missed opportunities for inununisation in an integrated child health service
Abstract
The mobile nature of the population of Khayelitsha makes it imperative that opportunities for immunisation of children are exploited at every visit to health services. Previous studies have demonstrated a high incidence of missed opportunities for immunisation at curative health services. The occurrence of undetected opportunities for immunisation are compared at two prim.ary care institutions: one in which curative and preventive services are provided separately, and one in which these functions are integrated. Far fewer opportunities for immunisation were missed at the integrated service, underscoring the urgency of integrating child health services throughout the country.
