Second-dose measles vaccination coverage and associated factors among children aged 19 to 35 months in Debre Birhan city, Ethiopia, 2024: A community-based cross-sectional study
Second-dose measles vaccination coverage in Debre Birhan City is lower than the national and global target. Key factors influencing coverage include the father's educational level, canceled or postponed vaccination schedules and caregivers' awareness and perception of measles vaccination. Therefore, to improve coverage, it is essential to strengthen health education, streamline vaccination schedules, and enhance communication with parents.
