Popis: Objectives To establish the association between malnutrition and vaccination and its socioeconomic determinants in children from a post-conflict zone. Methods a sample of 2,183 households with 2,682 children of 0-4 years was extracted from a survey of more than 15,000 persons. Indicators as weight-for-height, height-for-age and weight-for-age were calculated according to the World Health Organization standards. Vaccination status was checked by comparing the report of the vaccination card with the scheme of the Expanded Immunization Plan for the Pentavalent vaccine (Hepatitis B, Haemophilus Influenzae type B and Diphtheria - Whooping cough - Tetanus) for children 2-59 months and the scheme of BCG Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B for children
