Botshabelo's vaccination survey.
This community-based survey evaluates vaccination coverage of small children and socio-economic status of their households in a randomly selected sample of a black South African township. It reveals a poverty-stricken community, where only 19% of the children surveyed were fully vaccinated. It is suggested that expansion of health infrastructures together with a co-ordinated strategy of immunisation would result in a spectacular increase in vaccination coverage.
