Full vaccination coverage for children aged 12–23 months in Madagascar: Analysis of the 2021 Demographic and Health Survey
Full childhood vaccination coverage is low in Madagascar. Factors identified to be associated with vaccination coverage were maternal age, education, place of delivery, working status, antenatal care visits, and media access. Collaboration between the Ministry of Health and local authorities is recommended in Madagascar to improve vaccination coverage, promote antenatal care, clean delivery practices and access to skilled birth attendants, raise parental awareness, and enhance healthcare workers' communication about vaccination schedules through various media channels.
