RESUMO
By the year 2000 half the population in the world is expected to reside in large urban areas. "Improving immunization services to the disadvantaged in urban areas" is considered one of the priorities for the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). A review of the current situation with regard to immunization coverage and disease surveillance in urban Southeast Asia shows that acceleration of immunization activities in urban areas is needed to achieve and sustain the goal of Universal Child Immunization by the year 1990.
