ABSTRACT

This research work focuses on theperception of immunization information by mothers of under-five children in Gwanda Village Sabon Gari Local Government Kaduna State. The research work stemed from challenges faced in administering immunization in rural villages. To achieve the objectives of this research,four research questions were formulated: What is the perception of vaccine preventable diseases by mothers of under-five children?How do mothers of under-five children in Gwanda Village perceive immunization programme? What is the perception of mothers of under-five children on immunization information? And lastly how will Chatman’s Theory of Normative Behavior explain the perception of immunization information by mothers of under-five children in Gwanda Village?The Chatman’s Theoryof Normative Behaviorwas employed as the theoretical framework. Qualitative research method was used and case study design, purposive samplingtechnique was used to select the 5 respondents and semi-structured interview for data collection.The data collected was transcribed manually, which yielded (111) open codes, (14) sub-categories and (9) categories. The findings revealed thatparticipants perceived vaccine preventable diseases contacted by small children to be caused by Jinn and Witch Craftand with life time threats, it was also deduced that participants didn’t believe in immunization programsand child death or physical deformity, they only perceived it to be destiny.Hence, not even immunization can cure or avertit.They alsofind information on immunization asirrelevant. Community based health services and mass media were their sources of information on immunization. It was concluded that, participants perceive immunization information as bogus that would not help them possitively. This is due to the fact that the information comes from outsiders (whitemen), also the participants confirmed to the Chatman’s (2000) notions of small world context. This studyalso recommended that more measure shouldbe put in place in order to change the notion of the participants on the causes and cure of the vaccine preventable diseases.
