Fully Vaccination coverage and associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in Pawe District: A cross-sectional study

Résumé

Abstract Background Although accesses to vaccine for children are increasing at healthcare facility, outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases and deaths were reported in different areas of Benishangul Gumuz Region. Different interventions have also been given to provide vaccine for each child with their appropriate age. Still there is limited information on fully vaccination coverage and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in Benishangul-Gumuz Region, particularly in Pawe district. Method A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed from April, 1–30/2022 among 750 participants. Study populations were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using structured questionnaires. Data was coded and entered into SPSS 23.0 versions. Bi-variable and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with vaccination status of children. Variables with p-value < 0.05 were considered significantly associated with the outcome variable. Result The results of this study revealed that 542 (72.3%) with the (95% CI = 68.9, 75.2) of the children were full vaccinated. The factors significantly associated with full vaccination coverage were employed mothers (AOR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.29, 0.95), ANC follow-up (AOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.00, 3.03), PNC follow-up (AOR = 6.19, 95% CI: 3.62, 10.56), health institution delivery (AOR = 4.70, 95% CI: 1.90, 11.66), Birth order of children (AOR = 3.63, CI: 2.00, 6.59) mothers who had vaccinated for TT (AOR = 3.05, CI: 1.36, 6.86) & mothers knowledge of vaccination schedule (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.19, 5.21). Conclusions This study revealed that full vaccination coverage was lower than the recommended targets set by District level. Mothers’ occupation, ANC follow up, PNC visit, Birth order of children, place of delivery, mothers who knows vaccination schedule of a catchment area and mothers who had vaccinated for TT vaccine were found to be statistically significantly associated with full vaccination status of children aged 12–23 months. We recommend that effectiveness on vaccine should be studied in this area.
