“…Our study showed that Literate parents who attend higher education were about five times (AOR=5.330, 95% CI: (1.919-14.803)) more likely to be knowledgeable than illiterate respondents. This finding is comparable with the study findings from Addis Ababa, 40 Minia City, Egypt, 36 Nigeria, 39,44 Saudi Arabia, 17,18,25 Nepal, 32 India, 28,47,48 Lebanon 49 and Lithuania. 34 This was due to higher educational levels, of no doubt, have a good understanding of children's health and understand the educational messages and vaccination policy much more easily.…”

“…This might be due to nowadays most of the parents got delivery service at a health facility with skilled birth attendants and health care worker plays an indispensable role, during ANC and PNC period by convincing parents to link the newborn baby to Immunization unit to acquire immunization service as well as the intimate relationship between a service provider and the parents at primary health care levels and these health facilities seem to be most readily available and accessible to the people. This is, however, contrary to studies carried out in Minia city, Egypt, 36 Libya, 37 and Nigeria, 38,39 television, paramedical workers, and antenatal clinics were the main source of information about infant immunization, respectively.…”

Introduction: Improving infant immunization coverage and timeliness is a key health policy objective in many developing countries such as Ethiopia. Despite this, full immunization coverage in Ethiopia becomes low with the concurrent significant burden of vaccine-preventable diseases among infants. A previously published study acknowledged that parental knowledge, attitude, and practice towards infant immunization are vital issues to improve coverage and influence uptake. Objective: To assess parents' knowledge, attitude, practice, and its associated factors regarding immunization of infants at Wadla Woreda, North East Ethiopia, 2019. Material and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was employed among 418 parents from March to April 2019 in Wadla Woreda, North East Ethiopia. A stratified sampling technique was used to approach the study subjects. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used. The collected data were cleaned, coded, and entered in EPI-Info 7.2 and transferred to SPSS version 25.0 for analysis. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables having a significant association with parental knowledge, attitude, and practice. Variables with a p-value of ≤0.05 and AOR with 95% CI were declared as having a statistically significant association during multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: In this study, 65.1%, 57.3%, and 55.3% of the parents had good knowledge, a favorable attitude, and good practice towards infant immunization, respectively. Parent's educational status (AOR=5.330), urban residency (AOR=2.788), favorable attitude (AOR=4.308) and got immunization service two-three times (AOR=3.227) and four-five times (AOR=2.254) were statistically associated with knowledge of parents. Parents who attend primary school [AOR=0.451) and secondary school [AOR=0.320), parents who were mothers of the child [AOR=3.813), and respondents who had good knowledge about infant immunization (AOR= 4.592) were significantly associated with a favorable parental attitude. Infant immunization practice was significantly associated with parental education who attend primary school (AOR=2.513), secondary school (AOR=2.546) and higher education (AOR=11.988), parents who had good knowledge of infant immunization (AOR= 4.206), and short waiting time (AOR=3.881). Conclusion and Recommendation:Parental KAP towards infant immunization was found to be lower than most of the study findings quoted in this study. Improving the knowledge, attitude, and practice of parents about immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases was recommended by providing health education and health promotion interventions.

Yellow fever is a vaccine preventable hemorrhagic disease that leads to morbidity and mortality in the affected individuals. The only options for preventing and controlling its spread are through vaccination. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate yellow fever vaccination coverage and associated factors among under-five children in Kenya. The total weighted samples of 2,844 children aged under-five were included in this study. The data were taken from the Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey 2022. In the multivariable analysis, the adjusted odds ratio with a 95% CI was used to declare significant associations of yellow fever vaccine. The yellow fever vaccine coverage among children aged under-five in Kenya was 18.50%. The significant factors associated with yellow fever vaccine coverage were: the age of the child older than 24 months (AOR = 1.7; 95% CI (1.17–2.58)); higher odds of yellow fever vaccination coverage was observed among older children, place of residence (AOR = 1.76; 95% CI (1.04–2.97)); higher odds was observed among urban residents, maternal education; primary education (AOR = 1.99; 95% CI (1.04–2.97)), secondary education (AOR = 2.85; 95% CI (1.41–5.76)), mothers who attended primary or secondary education have higher odds of yellow fever vaccination coverage, wealth index (AOR = 2.38; 95% CI (1.15–4.91)); higher odds of vaccination coverage was observed among poor households. Yellow fever vaccine coverage among under-five children in Kenya was low and has become an important public health concern. Policymakers and other stakeholders are recommended to focus on vaccination programs to prevent yellow fever disease.
