Immunization coverage and social differentiation in urban Senegal.

Research Unit 401, ORSTOM, Institut Français de Recherche Scientifique pour le Développement en Coopération, Paris, France.

We studied sociocultural factors associated with immunization coverage among a random sample of 500 mothers in the underprivileged suburbs of Dakar, Senegal. Factors associated with immunization of children under age 5 were maternal educational level and socioeconomic conditions (especially husband's regular salary); maternal age on arrival in town was more influential than total number of resident years in town; no effect of ethnicity was evident.
