“…This finding is comparable to a finding from a study conducted in Tamil Nadu in which 76% of children were fully vaccinated (Murugesan et al, 2017) and in Kenya which reported that 76.6% were fully vaccinated (Maina et al, 2013). On the other hand this finding is lower than a report from a study conducted in India which showed that 80.7% (Chaudhari et al, 2016) were fully vaccinated. It is also lower than a finding from a study done in Rims, Ranchi (87.3%) (Vidyasagar et al, 2017).…”
