Abstract

Objective: To find out HepB vaccine timely delivery factors influencing in newborns within 24 hours, provide a basic evidences for increasing the coverage of timely HepB vaccine.

Methods: We established multinomial Logistic regression equation to analysis the factors with the investigation landform, delivery rate at hospital, occupation and education of child caretakers, ethnic,whether the child caretakers know children need vaccination and if the child caretakers bring children for vaccination.

Compare with 6.71% of children delivery at home, timely coverage of children delivery at township clinic and county clinic hospitals are 46.86% and 54.05% respectively. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that delivery hospitals (X1), education of child caretakers (X2) were the main influencing factors to the timely birth dose HepB vaccination, the investigation landform, occupation of child caretakers, ethnic, whether the child caretakers know children need vaccination and if the child caretakers bring children for vaccination on their own have relevancy with the timely to the timely birth dose HepB vaccination.

Conclusions: The strategies such as increasing the rate of delivery at hospitals and putting more funding into publicity will facilitate increasing the coverage of timely birth dose HepB vaccination.
