Determinants of vaccination status among Somali children: evidence from a Countrywide cross-sectional survey

The study identified child age, birth order, maternal level of education, residence, family income, and number of ANC visits, were the contributors to the low vaccination intake among children. Women from poor households, with low educational levels, and who have the least visits to ANC should be targeted to increase the vaccination coverage of Somali children. Therefore, there is a need for policymakers to develop interventions targeting the less focused groups that aim at solving the problem.
