title: [Evaluation of the Andalusia Vaccination Program in the Sierra de Cádiz Sanitary District].
abstract: One of the foundations for good child care is the application of a vaccination program. With this report we evaluate the vaccination coverage (January 1991) of a group of children (1319), born during 1988 between January 1st and October 1st, in the Sierra of the District of Cadiz. Our results show that 87.64% participated in the Vaccination Program. The first vaccination was received by 80.06% of these children. This rate decreased as we advanced through the vaccination calendar, reaching 76.34% for the measles/mumps/rubella vaccination and 66.71% for the vaccination at 2 years of age. Therefore, one-third of this child population did not complete the vaccination schedule. The most frequently found complication was a local reaction, whereas the counter-indication most frequently observed was an acute infectious illness.
