Factors contributing to compliance with Expanded Programme on Immunization and RTS, S/AS01 schedules among children aged 24–40 months in Central Tongu District of Ghana
Non-compliance with recommended EPI vaccinations, including RTS,S/AS01, was largely due to socio-economic factors, having information and knowledge about vaccines, immunization schedules, and access to immunization services. Healthcare providers can improve immunization coverage by emphasizing education on vaccines and vaccine schedules, using technologies and making services accessible in Ghana.
