Prevalence and associated factors of immunization among under-five children in Somalia

A large proportion of children did not complete the full vaccination schedule. Socio-demographic factors, such as age, region, residence, educational level, wealth quantile, child size at birth, parity, and birth order, had a significant impact on the number of children vaccinated in Somalia. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions for addressing these factors. Implementing initiatives based on these conclusions has the potential to enhance vaccination coverage and child health outcomes.

Abstract

A large proportion of children did not complete the full vaccination schedule. Socio-demographic factors, such as age, region, residence, educational level, wealth quantile, child size at birth, parity, and birth order, had a significant impact on the number of children vaccinated in Somalia. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions for addressing these factors. Implementing initiatives based on these conclusions has the potential to enhance vaccination coverage and child health outcomes.
