Geospatial mapping to assess the distribution and determinants of zero dose vaccination status hot spots among children in Ethiopia using EDHS 2019: Spatial and geographical weighted regression
The zero dose child in Ethiopia was low. Geographically, the highest proportion of zero-dose vaccination status among children was in the Somali and Afar regions. Home delivery had the highest and most positive effect on zero-dose vaccination status in Afar, Somalia, and the Tigray region. Additionally, the poor wealth index had the highest and most positive effect in Somalia and the Afar region. Expanding delivery at the health facility and economic empowerment of women are recommended to improve vaccination in Ethiopia.
