Parental knowledge of immunisation is essential to assist public health initiatives to increase the uptake rates. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to ascertain the knowledge and attitude of the primary childhood immunisations in randomly selected parents in a deprived inner-city area; 82% of 93 responded. Parents' reported uptake of immunisation was compared with general practitioner and official health board records. Respondents with a low standard of education (70% of respondents without a Leaving Certificate versus 44% with the Leaving Certificate p=0.06) and parenting alone (69% versus 49% of two-parent families p=0.07) were less aware of the severity of the diseases. Older parents (58%) questioned immunisation safety more than younger parents (28%), p=0.06. Full immunisation was reported by 91% of parents compared to 81% from the general practitioners records and 70% from health board figures. The poor correlation between parents' reported immunisation uptake and official immunisation sources could be improved through the use of personal identification numbers.
