Abstract
Introduction: the incidence of measles is still very common, assuming epidemic proportions in some parts of the world. A dose of measles vaccine at 9 months protects 85% of those vaccinated. To protect individuals and the community at large, it is important to ensure that all children at 18 months receive a second dose of measles vaccination. This is because, the older the person, the better the immunogenicity after receiving the vaccine. The national coverage for the first dose of measles is 95% but that for the second dose is 73%. This study investigated the level of awareness of measles - 2 vaccination among caregivers attending child welfare clinics.
