Abstract
Negligence towards immunization may result in serious health risks not only for the
deprived child but for the society too as diseases meant to be controlled by vaccination are infectious.
Apart from technical loopholes, there are many factors embedded in social and cultural set
up of the people which act as obstacle for success of such programs aimed at improving public
health. In rural society the type of family, in which child is reared, is also significant importance
in this regard. This paper aims to explore how a particular family type, nuclear or joint, affects the
immunization status of children.
