Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of polio vaccination among mothers attending vaccination sites in Gaza during the conflict

Most mothers demonstrated good knowledge and positive attitudes towards polio vaccination, although only about two-thirds reported good vaccination practices. Younger mothers and those with younger children had better knowledge, while middle-aged mothers expressed more positive attitudes. Importantly, socio-demographic factors were not linked to practice levels. The relatively low adherence to vaccination practices requires further attention.

Abstract

Most mothers demonstrated good knowledge and positive attitudes towards polio vaccination, although only about two-thirds reported good vaccination practices. Younger mothers and those with younger children had better knowledge, while middle-aged mothers expressed more positive attitudes. Importantly, socio-demographic factors were not linked to practice levels. The relatively low adherence to vaccination practices requires further attention.
