Abstract

Objective

To determine whether patients who use private sector providers for curative services have lower vaccination rates and are less likely to receive prenatal care.

Data Sources/Study Setting

This study uses data from the 52d round of the National Sample Survey, a nationally representative socioeconomic and health survey of 120,942 rural and urban Indian households conducted in 1995–1996.

Study Design

Using logistic regression, we estimate the relationship between receipt of preventive care at any time (vaccinations for children, prenatal care for pregnant women) and use of public or private care for outpatient curative services, controlling for demographics, household socioeconomic status, and state of residence.

Data Collection/Extraction Methods

We analyzed samples of children ages 0 to 4 and pregnant women who used medical care within a 15-day window prior to the survey.

Principal Findings

With the exception of measles vaccination, predicted probabilities of the receipt of vaccinations and prenatal care do not differ based on the type of provider at which children and women sought curative care. Children and pregnant women in households who use private care are almost twice as likely to receive preventive care from private sources, but the majority still obtains preventive care from public providers.

Conclusions

Answer 2

Information about vaccination :

Vaccination is the technique in which inactive or weakened pathogens are introduced into the body of a person. This is done so as to protect the individual from diseases.

After that, memory B and T cells gets generated by vaccine.

If later on, the individual is subjected on exposure to the pathogen, then the memory B and T cells recognises it and produces quick immune response.
