Vaccines are one of the best public health tools available to achieve the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) # 4 of decreasing child mortality. A major reason for poor childhood
vaccine coverage is the lack of awareness among parents regarding the need for immunization
in children, and the importance of completing the entire series of vaccines. This result in
significant drop-out between vaccines delivered at birth and later in the infancy period.
New innovative methods involving technologies are needed to be employed to increase the
vaccine coverage. This study is being conducted in Karachi, Pakistan and main study
objective is
• To assess the effectiveness of SMS reminders on cell phones in improving the compliance of
subsequent visits for routine immunization for children.
