description Incomplete immunization coverage is common in low-income families and Aboriginal children in Canada. To determine whether child immunization coverage rates at two years of age were lower in low-income neighbourhoods of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Parents who were and were not behind in child immunization coverage were contacted to determine differences in knowledge, beliefs and opinions on barriers and solutions. A multivariate regression model was designed to determine whether Aboriginal cultural status was associated with being behind in childhood immunizations after controlling for low-income status. Reviewing the past five years in Saskatoon, the six low-income neighbourhoods had complete child immunization coverage rates of 43.7% (95% CI 41.2 to 45.9) for measles-mumps-rubella, and 42.6% (95% CI 40.1 to 45.1) for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and Haemophilus influenzae type B. The five affluent neighbourhoods had 90.6% (95% CI 88.9 to 92.3) immunization coverage rates for measles-mumps-rubella, and 78.6% (95% CI 76.2 to 81.0) for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and H influenzae type B. Parents who were behind in immunization coverage for their children were more likely to be single, of Aboriginal or other (non-Caucasian or non-Aboriginal) cultural status, have lower family income and have significant differences in reported beliefs, barriers and potential solutions. In the final regression model, Aboriginal cultural status was no longer associated with lower immunization status. Child immunization coverage rates in Saskatoon's six low-income neighbourhoods were approximately one-half the rate of the affluent neighbourhoods. The covariates with the strongest independent association with complete childhood immunization status were low income and other cultural status. Aboriginal cultural status was not associated with low child immunization rates after controlling for income status.
