Regional Disparities and Maternal Sociodemographic Determinants of Full Immunization Coverage Among Children Aged 12–23 Months in Nigeria: Insights from NDHS 2018

Policy efforts must prioritize these vulnerable groups to enhance child health outcomes and achieve universal immunization coverage in Nigeria.
