ABSTRACT

A sample survey of immunisation coverages in children in the rural areas of Varanasi was undertaken to study how the socio-economic status of parents affects immunisation of their children. The present state of affairs in immunisation programme in India inspite of its established utility and added attempts towards its implementation, seems to be unsatisfactory. The entire problem is very closely linked with education and socio-economic uplift of the people.
