Abstract
A cross sectional study was conducted utilizing rapid assessment procedures, covering 516 children of 12-23 months in 80 clusters of both urban and rural areas of district Agra. The results revealed that 41.5% had immunization cards; only 37.2% children were fully immunized and 37.6% children were unimmunized. 43.6% had received measles vaccine. The most common reason for non immunization was obstacles (46%), followed by lack of motivation (22.6%), lack of information (19.4%). 13.8% had received vitamin-A oil along with measles vaccine while only 5.3% had received vitamin A up to three years.
