Discrepancy between knowledge and attitude v/s practice suggests that a number of barriers prevent mothers from translating their good knowledge and positive attitude into action. Significant regional disparities exist, with rural areas like Beqaa facing the greatest challenges.

Abstract

Discrepancy between knowledge and attitude v/s practice suggests that a number of barriers prevent mothers from translating their good knowledge and positive attitude into action. Significant regional disparities exist, with rural areas like Beqaa facing the greatest challenges. Strengthening vaccine accessibility, implementing targeted educational interventions, and increasing governmental support are critical to improving immunization coverage nationwide.
