Abstract

Background Vaccination has saved millions of lives. However, the vaccination rate in Nigeria remains low. We differentiate reasons for incomplete vaccination by status: not- and partially- vaccinated, and examine the association between sociodemographic characteristics of caregivers and reasons for incomplete vaccination. Methods Data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) conducted in Nigeria in 2016 and 2017 was analyzed. The logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between sociodemographic characteristics of caregivers and incomplete vaccination according to different reasons. Results The most common reason for non-vaccination is that caregivers have no faith in immunization (27.0%), followed by lack of awareness of the need for immunization (26.0%) and the perception that the place where immunization is given is too far/inconvenient (24.3%). The most common reason for partial vaccination is that caregivers thought the children had already been fully immunized (44.8%), followed by the inconvenient location for immunization (15.3%) and supply-side issues such as shortage of vaccine stock and absence of vaccinators (14.4%). Among caregivers whose children are never vaccinated, a lower level of education is correlated with more likelihood of having no faith in immunization and poorer households are more likely to state a lack of awareness of the need for immunization need and an inconvenient place as the reasons for non-vaccination. Among caregivers wh…

  • Many reviewed studies used data from multiple centres across the country or population-based surveys, and thus may be nationally representative.

  • The review identified stockouts and related issues in Nigeria's medicine and vaccine supply chains, including stock-outs, substandard medicines, inadequate supply of vaccines, and regular stock-outs of essential medicines due to inefficient inventory management systems, equipment and corruption.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
