Uptake of measles second dose vaccine among children aged 15–35 months at Mettu Woreda, Illu Aba Bor Zone, Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study
The uptake of the measles second-dose vaccine among children aged 15-35 months is below district and national targets. Maternal age, education, knowledge, information access, trust in healthcare workers, antenatal care, waiting times, and service availability were all associated. Improved community awareness and addressing healthcare facility closures are needed.
