Multivariate analysis showed that: delay to the first vaccine 3 months(p=0.0001), missed opportunities (p=0.0005), lack of mastery of the vaccine schedule and EPI diseases (p=0.0055), waiting more than one hour at the vaccination site (p=0...

The progress made by the EPI in the LUIZA health zone in the post-conflict period is not evident and remains one of the greatest dissatisfactions in public health.
