Polio vaccination and marginal effects among children aged 12–23 months in Lesotho using 2024 LDHS data: A multilevel analysis approach
In Lesotho and around the world, polio vaccination is a crucial health measure to enhance children's development. Approximately 29.6% of the children in the study were not fully vaccinated. These rates differed by district and the number of ANC visits the moms had. Treatments and safeguards for children's health should be more focused on enhancing medical facilities and services and encouraging ANC visits to receive care.
