One factor behind this development is low vaccination coverage in socially disadvantaged segments of the population in many countries. This study investigates whether socioeconomic patterns of uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the Nordic countries differ by national organisation of preventive health services for children. Methods: MMR vaccine uptake before the age of two years was analysed in register data from Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden, linked to family indicators of socio-economic status (SES) from national registers. Results: Denmark, a country where child vaccinations are administered by general practitioners, presented the lowest overall coverage of MMR at 83%. It also had the greatest difference between subpopulations of low and high SES at 14 percentage points. Finland, Iceland and Sweden, countries where preschool children are vaccinated in \u2018well-baby\u2019 clinics, had a higher overall coverage at 91\u201394%, with a more equal distribution between SES groups at 1\u20134 percentage points. Conclusions: This study suggests that the organisation of preventive health care in special units, \u2018well-baby\u2019 clinics, facilitates vaccine uptake among children with low SES in a Nordic welfare context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494819850430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]],"date-time":"2019-05-17T04:03:27Z","timestamp":1558065807000},"page":"491-494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Organisation of preventive child health services: Key to socio-economic equity in vaccine uptake?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Arzu","family":"Arat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"Norredam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danish Research Centre for Migration, Ethnicity and Health, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrike","family":"Baum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Solutions, National Institute for Health and Welfare, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stef\u00e1n Hrafn","family":"J\u00f3nsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics, University of Iceland, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geir","family":"Gunlaugsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics, University of Iceland, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Wallby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Children\u2019s and Women\u2019s health, Uppsala University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1645-2058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anders","family":"Hjern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Sweden"},{"name":"Sachsska Children\u2019s Hospital, Sweden"},{"name":"Centre for Health Equity Studies, Karolinska Institute\/Stockholm Univeristy, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1403494819850430","unstructured":"European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
