dc.description.abstractObjective: Mop-Up Polio Vaccination Campaign is a movement which goals to reach the target of eliminating polio. Our aim in this study is to determine the characteristics of the families who have rejected oral polio vaccination (OPV) of their children within the OPV Campaign in a family health center and to examine the reasons of rejecting the vaccination. Methods: The data was obtained through a survey in face-to-face interviews which were performed with the families who have rejected the vaccination of their children within the Mop-Up Oral polio vaccination campaign. The survey form consisted of 14 questions about the socio-demographic features of the families and children, and the reasons of refusing oral polio. Results: 1250 children were included in the vaccination program during the campaign. 38 families of the children (3.04%) declined vaccination during the campaign, the average age of the children were 23.2+/-17.7 months. The youngest one was three days old and the eldest one was 59 months old. Looking over the family members who took the survey, it is seen that 71 % of those were the mothers (n=27), 8% of those were the fathers (n=3) and 21% of those were the relatives (n=8). It was discovered that 94.7 % of the families of the children who rejected OPA vaccination got other vaccinations according to the Ministry of Health National Vaccination Calendar (n=36), whereas 5.3% of those children lacked of other vaccinations (n=2). Though 81.6% of the children were given OPA beforehand (n=31), 18.4% were not given at all (n=7). Conclusion: Levels of educational and awareness are important in reaching the targeted vaccination rates in the conduction of vaccination works. We believe that on the vaccination campaigns to be conducted, informing the families about vaccination and increasing their awareness will decrease the vaccination rejections.en_US
