“…The Global Vaccine Action Plan specified 2015 targets as 90% national coverage with DTP3 and coverage of at least 80% in all districts worldwide [8]. However, many countries still fall short of these targets [9]. Research has been undertaken in a number of SSA countries to identify the determinants of childhood vaccination coverage [10–15].…”

Background: Vaccination is an important tool for reducing infectious disease morbidity and mortality. In the past, less than 80% of children 12–23 months of age were fully immunized in Burkina Faso. Objectives: To describe coverage and assess factors associated with adherence to the vaccination schedule in rural area Burkina Faso. Methods: The study population was extracted from the Nouna Health and Demographic surveillance system cohort. Data from four rounds of interviews conducted between November 2012 and June 2014 were considered. This study included 4016 children aged 12–23 months. We assessed the effects of several background factors, including sex, factors reflecting access to health care (residence, place of birth), and maternal factors (age, education, marital status), on being fully immunized defined as having received Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), three doses of diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis and oral polio vaccine, and measles vaccine by 12 months of age. The associations were studied using binomial regression to derive prevalence ratios (PRs) in univariate and multivariate regression models. Results: The full vaccination coverage increased significantly over time (72% in 2012, 79% in 2013, and 81% in 2014, p = 0.003), and the coverage was significantly lower in urban than in rural areas (PR 0.84; 0.80–0.89). Vaccination coverage was neither influenced by sex nor influenced by place of birth or by maternal factors. Conclusion: The study documented a further improvement in full vaccination coverage in Burkina Faso in recent years and better vaccination coverage in rural than in urban areas. The organization of healthcare systems with systematic outreach activities in the rural areas may explain the difference between rural and urban areas.

“…13 WHO recommends integrating vaccinations given during health service contacts where possible, and opportunities to provide the WHO-recommended TTCV booster doses increasingly exist as countries introduce a second dose of measles-containing vaccine (MCV2) during the second year of life (2YL) and work to develop robust school-based programs for new vaccines that target preadolescents, such as human papillomavirus virus vaccine. 3,26,27 Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique have established national 2YL delivery platforms with the introduction of MCV2 within the past 3 years. MCV2 coverage by the end of the 2YL in Tanzania improved from 29% in 2014 to 57% in 2015, whereas MCV2 coverage in Kenya was 28% in 2015; data were unavailable for Mozambique where MCV2 was introduced in 2015.…”

Abstract. Recent tetanus cases associated with male circumcision in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) prompted an examination of tetanus immunity by age and sex using multiplex serologic data from community surveys in three ESA countries during 2012-2013. Tetanus seroprotection was lower among children 5-14 years versus 1-4 years of age in Kenya (66% versus 90%) and Tanzania (66% versus 89%), but not in Mozambique (91% versus 88%), where children receive two booster doses in school. Among males ≥ 15 years of age, tetanus seroprotection was lower than females in Kenya (45% versus 96%), Tanzania (28% versus 94%), and Mozambique (64% versus 90%). Tetanus immunity from infant vaccination doses wanes over time, and only women of reproductive age routinely receive booster doses. To prevent immunity gaps in older children, adolescents, and adult men, a life-course vaccination strategy is needed to provide the three recommended tetanus booster doses.
