Vaccines coverage and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in the Pawie district, Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study
This study revealed that among children aged 12-23 months, full vaccination coverage was notably low. Factors significantly associated with higher rates of full vaccination included mothers' occupation, attendance at ANC visits, PNC visits, birth order of children, place of delivery, maternal awareness of vaccination schedules, and maternal TT vaccination status. These findings highlight the multifaceted influences of maternal characteristics, healthcare use patterns, and maternal knowledge on childhood vaccination in this population.
