Immunisation in the first year of life.
Over 10 percent of a group of 1180 Christchurch infants received either no immunisation, incomplete immunisation or late immunisation during the first year of life. Failure to provide the child with the recommended course of immunisation was most common amongst families of non-European ethnic origin, single parent families and families with depressed living standards.
