Incomplete basic vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in resource-limited countries: a spatial and multilevel regression analysis of recent DHS data from 48 countries
The spatial distribution of incomplete basic vaccination was significantly varied across the resource-limited countries. Both individual- and community-level factors were significantly associated with incomplete basic vaccination. Therefore, the World Health Organization and other stakeholders involved in child healthcare should work together to expand childhood vaccination and prioritize the hotspot areas of developing countries.
