    Effect of Family Structure on Child Immunization in the Rural Area
    (University of North Bengal, 2016) Srivastava, Namita
    Negligence towards immunization may result in serious health risks not only for the deprived child but for the society too as diseases meant to be controlled by vaccination are infectious. Apart from technical loopholes, there are many factors embedded in social and cultural set up of the people which act as obstacle for success of such programs aimed at improving public health. In rural society the type of family, in which child is reared, is also significant importance in this regard. This paper aims to explore how a particular family type, nuclear or joint, affects the immunization status of children.
