Ascertainment of childhood vaccination histories in northern Malawi
Summary: Objective To assess factors related to recorded vaccine uptake, which may confound the evaluation of vaccine impact.Methods Analysis of documented vaccination histories of children under 5 years and demographic and socio‐economic characteristics collected by a demographic surveillance system in Karonga District, Malawi. Associations between deviations from the standard vaccination schedule and characteristics that are likely to be associated with increased mortality were determined by multivariate logistic regression.Results Approximately 78% of children aged 6–23 months had a vaccination document, declining to Conclusions Though overall coverage in this community was high and variation in coverage according to child or parental characteristics small, there was strong evidence of more timely coverage among children from better socio‐economic conditions and among those who lived closer to health facilities. These factors are likely to be strong confounders in the association of vaccinations with mortality, and may offer an alternative explanation for the non‐specific mortality impact of vaccines described by other studies.
