Using data obtained from the 2014 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, a total of 4915 participants were included in this study. Social integration was measured by economic, social, cultural, and internal identity. Univariate chi-square testing was used to calculate associations between all variables and migrant children’s vaccination status. Binary logistic regression was employed to calculate the impacts of social integration on migrant children’s vaccination status. In total, 94.7% of migrant children had complete vaccinations for their age. Migrants who had medical insurance, spoke the native language when communicating with locals, lived mainly with locals, and did not perceive discrimination were more likely to have their children completely vaccinated. Social integration was positively associated with migrant children’s vaccination status. Our study indicated that to improve vaccination coverage of migrant children, more policy support for migrant employment and housing, promotion of health services for migrants, and language support in health institutions is needed. | Source Title: | VACCINES | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/205115 | ISSN: | 2076-393X | DOI: | 10.3390/vaccines9080884 |
