Prevalence, spatial patterns and determinants of zero-dose vaccination among children aged 12–23 months in Sub-Saharan Africa: A multilevel spatial analysis

2026Open accessGondar University

Abstract

In SSA, zero-dose vaccintion was high compared to the global target of no tolerance for zero-dose. The distribution of zero-dose vaccination was spatially clustered with individual and community level factors significantly associated with it. Therefore, spatially targeted interventions taking these factors into account should be implemented by stakeholders in the SSA region to address zero-dose children.
