One of the major determinants of physical health of child is infant immunization. In India especially after 1980s it is done through various central or state government immunization programmes. As a result some of the states in India have successfully implemented these immunization programmes like Tamil Nadu, Goa, Kerala and Himachal Pradesh but states like Uttar Pradesh are still far behind. A number of socio-economic factors affect the smooth implementation and success of these programmes. Since Uttar Pradesh is one of the worst performing states of India a study is required which focuses on various socio-economic determinants responsible for this. This paper will try to analyse various socio-economic determinants of child immunization in Meerut City one of the important cities of Uttar Pradesh situated in the national capital region of India. |
