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.'
