Routine immunization coverage among children under 24 months and its determinants in Eastern and Oti regions of Ghana
The study highlights significant disparities in vaccination coverage between urban and rural areas and across regions. Targeted interventions are needed to address gaps in coverage, particularly in urban areas where full vaccination rates remain lower. Strengthening health systems, leveraging technology, and improving community engagement are critical steps toward achieving equitable and high vaccination coverage for all children in Ghana.
