Adverse Events Following Childhood Immunization Comparison of Kowledge and Reporting Practices among Healthcare Providers in Private and Public Health Facilities in Southwest Nigeria

Surveillance of adverse events following immunization AEFI is an integral component of any immunization programme and is as important as surveillance of both immunization coverage and vaccine preventable diseases. Effective surveillance depends on appropriate reporting of AEFI, and this is the purview of HCPs. Although several studies have described the burden and prevalence of AEFI in Nigeria, few have assessed reporting practices of healthcare provider, particularly in private settings. This study assessed the knowledge, perception and determinants of AEFI reporting by healthcare providers in public and private health facilities in Ogun State, Nigeria.The study is a facility-based descriptive cross-sectional study among health workers providing immunization services. Using a multistage sampling technique, 448 consenting healthcare providers were selected from public and private health facilities. Data was collected using a self-administered, pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. Knowledge scores categorized as good, fair, and poor. Reporting practices were assessed by determining the proportion of respondents that encountered and reported an AEFI; A p-value 0.05 was considered significant.The mean age of the respondents was 34.0 8.6 years. Majority 85.5% were female. About 62% of providers in public health facilities had undergone AEFI training compared with 45% of providers in private settings. Those in private facilities had significantly better knowledge but those in public health facilities were more likely to report AEFI and also had a better perception of AEFI reporting. Only 45% had encountered an AEFI and of these, 51% reported. Availability of AEFI tools; training and having a good knowledge score were significantly associated with AEFI reporting irrespective of type public/private of health facility.
