Abstract

Young maternal age, family size, inadequate ANC, rural residence, not utilizing PNC services, and poor wealth status were the individual level determinants of incomplete immunization. Low and moderate level of ANC services utilization, and low community level institutional delivery service utilization were the factors determining incomplete immunization at the community level. Therefore, the health decision makers better to be committed to design strategies to enhance complete immunization coverage and maternal and child health services.
