Over two million deaths are delayed through Immunisation each year worldwide. Despite this, Vaccine preventable diseases remain the most common cause of childhood mortality with an estimated three million deaths each year. Uptake of vaccination services is dependent not only provision of these services but also on other factors including knowledge and attitude of mothers, density of health workers, accessibility to vaccine clinics and availability of safe needles and syringes.
