AB  - INTRODUCTION: It is very important to analyze the factors which acts as obstacle 
      in achieving 100% immunization among children. Lot Quality Assurance Sampling 
      (LQAS) is one of the effective method to assess such barriers. AIM: To assess the 
      full immunization coverage among 12 to 23-month old children of rural field 
      practice area under Department of Community Medicine, Agartala Government Medical 
      College and identify the factors for failure of full immunization. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2013 
      to October 2014 on children aged 12 to 23 months old of area under Mohanpur 
      Community health centre. Using LQAS technique 330 samples were selected with 
      multi-stage sampling, each sub-centre being one lot and two calculated to be the 
      decision value. Data was collected using pre-designed pre-tested questionnaire 
      during home visit and verifying immunization card and analysed by computer 
      software SPSS version 21.0. RESULTS: The full immunization coverage among 12 to 
      23 months old children of Mohanpur area was found as 91.67%. Out of all the 22 
      sub-centres, 36.36% was found under performing as per pre-fixed criteria and the 
      main reasons for failure of full immunization in those areas are unawareness of 
      need of subsequent doses of vaccines and illness of the children. CONCLUSION: 
      LQAS is an effective method to identify areas of under-performance even though 
      overall full immunization coverage is high.
