23 | Xu et al. | 1995 | 6121 migrant children less than one year old | Linyi City, Shandong Province | A shorter period of immunization insurance (only one year after the delivery instead of 7Â years) used for migrant population with much lower premium and it was very effective for migrant children to receive 5 basic vaccines in the first year. |
24 | Li et al. | 2008 | 2859 migrant children aged 0–7 | Baicheng City, Jilin Province | The rate of appropriate immunizations for migrant children increased from 80% in 2004 to 95% in 2006, after this national policy "Regulation about Vaccine and Immunization Management" was implemented in 2005 |
25 | Liao | 2008 | 1859 migrant families | Chengdu City, Sichuan Province | A positive relationship between immunization certificates and age-appropriate immunization rates was found. 95% of migrant children in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province had immunization certificates and their age-appropriate immunization rates were more than 90%. |
26 | Gao | 2008 | 120 migrant children | Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province | A positive relationship between immunization certificates and age-appropriate immunization rates was found. 95.8% of migrant children had immunization certificates in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and their 5 vaccine’immunizations rates were 87.5% |
27 | Yin et al. | 2008 | 436 migrant children | Panzhihua City, Sichuang Province | A positive relationship between immunization certificates and age-appropriate immunization rates was found. 97.71% of migrant children in Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province had immunization certificates and 5 vaccines (except hepatitis B) were more than 85% |
28 | Nakano et al. | 1997 | 91 children | Myanmar border, Yunan Province | The former family planning policy had been believed to be one of most important reasons for the low immunization rates for migrant children |
29 | Li et al. | 1994 | 194 migrant children | Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province | Migrant families had more children violating the family planning policy. 13.92% of 194 migrant children were out of family planning policies in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province in 1993. |
30 | Wang | 1996 | 61 polio cases | Wuhua County, Guangdong Province | Investigated 61 polio outbreak cases in Wuhua County, Guangdong Province in 1993, and found that 39 cases were for children violating the family planning policy or migrant children and none of them had a complete polio immunization history |
31 | Han et al. | 2014 | 1610 migrant children | Guangdong Province | Migrant children living in a poor family had a low up-to-date immunization rates. |
