abstract: 'Background Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the highest under-five mortality
and low childhood immunization region in the world. Children in
Sub-Saharan Africa are 15 times more likely to die than children from
high-income countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, more than half of
under-five deaths are preventable through immunization. Therefore, this
study aimed to identify the determinant factors of full childhood
immunization among children aged 12-23 months in sub-Saharan Africa.
Methods Data for the study was drawn from the Demographic and Health
Survey of nine sub-Saharan African countries. A total of 21,448 children
were included. The two-level mixed-effects logistic regression model was
used to identify the individual and community-level factors associated
with full childhood immunization Result The prevalence of full childhood
immunization coverage in sub-Saharan Africa countries was 59.40\% (95\%
CI: 58.70, 60.02). The multilevel logistic regression model revealed
that secondary and above maternal education (AOR = 1.38; 95\% CI: 1.25,
1.53), health facility delivery (AOR = 1.51; 95\% CI: 1.41, 1.63),
fathers secondary education and above (AOR = 1.28, 95\% CI: 1.11, 1.48),
four and above ANC visits (AOR = 2.01; 95\% CI: 1.17, 2.30), PNC
visit(AOR = 1.55; 95\% CI: 1.46, 1.65), rich wealth index (AOR = 1.26;
95\% CI: 1.18, 1.40), media exposure (AOR = 1.11; 95\% CI: 1.04, 1.18),
and distance to health facility is not a big problem (AOR = 1.42; 95\%
CI: 1.28, 1.47) were significantly associated with full childhood
immunization. Conclusion The full childhood immunization coverage in
sub-Saharan Africa was poor with high inequalities. There is a
significant variation between SSA countries in full childhood
immunization. Therefore, public health programs targeting uneducated
mothers and fathers, rural mothers, poor households, and those who have
not used maternal health care services to promote full childhood
immunization to improve child health. By enhancing institutional
delivery, antenatal care visits and maternal tetanus immunization, the
government and other stakeholders should work properly to increase child
immunization coverage. Furthermore, policies and programs aimed at
addressing cluster variations in childhood immunization need to be
formulated and their implementation must be strongly pursued.'
