Fully Vaccinated Yet Under-vaccinated: Timeliness and Completeness of Routine Childhood Vaccinations by 2 Years of Age in Nigeria
Fully Vaccinated Yet Under-vaccinated: Timeliness and Completeness of Routine Childhood Vaccinations by 2 Years of Age in Nigeria
The timeliness of routine childhood immunization should be an important component in measuring vaccination coverage rates especially in LMIC countries like Nigeria, yet this is overlooked. This study will determine the age- specific immunization timely uptake rates for the various vaccines covered in the routine childhood immunization and seek out factors that affect timely vaccine uptake among Nigerian children.
This study will determine the extent of timely and complete routine childhood vaccination uptake in Nigeria. The investigators will also seek to understand the factors that influence timely/complete uptake and make recommendations. this study will also determine if the present immunization records system in Nigeria is capable of measuring timely immunization uptake.
