Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how parental confidence and attitudes towards immunization differ between private and public health systems in urban Guatemala and how these differences affect children's vaccination timeliness.
- A survey of 503 parents showed that those using private clinics experienced more delays in vaccines compared to those in public clinics, with factors like education level and monthly income also influencing vaccination timeliness.
- The findings indicated that children in private clinics were at a higher risk for delays in vaccinations, resulting in longer periods without adequate immunization protection.
