title: [Missed vaccination opportunities in Brazzaville].
abstract: In order to assess the magnitude of missed immunisation opportunities, a study was carried out at ten randomly selected health centres in Brazzaville (Congo). A survey based on interviews at discharge was conducted with 306 mothers or caretakers of children aged under 2 years. The overall rate of missed immunization opportunities was 12.8% for children and 50.6% for women. The reasons most frequently given were illness of the child, misinformation and unavailable vaccines.
