Attempts to assess the association of these elements and childhood immunisation uptake have been inconclusive with some studies reporting expected relationships [14] [15] [16] and others contrary to what would be expected [17, 18] . These contradictory findings have led to the conclusion that the health beliefs of mothers are not important contributors to immunisation uptake or completion and are less important than socio-demographic factors. That is, incomplete immunisation (fall behind the immunisation schedule or fail to complete) is associated with being poor [17] , and being a single parent [19, 20] . Low maternal education has usually been found to be a risk factor for not completing immunisation [20] . Being anti immunisation on the other hand, is associated with high education [21] .
