Abstract
Many children do not receive their recommended immunizations in a timely manner. In this study we compare a visually enhanced educational (VEE) intervention to usual care (UC) among infants of low-income parents. Parents in the intervention group (n = 40) received VEE, whereas control group participants (n = 40) received UC. Adherence (yes/no) to the recommended immunization schedule measured and the VEE group was significantly more adherent to the recommended immunization schedule at 2 (P = .014), 4 (P = .041), and 6 (P = .042) months compared with the control group. Using VEE may increase adherence to the recommended immunization schedule.
