Full immunization coverage and its determinants among children aged 12-23 months in Wogera district, Northwest Ethiopia

Conclusion: In this study, the full immunization coverage is found to be suboptimal, and it is far from the expected national target coverage. Maternal health care uptake; women empowerment; home visits by HEW during the first week of the postpartum period and male involvement in child immunization were found to be predictors of being fully vaccinated.
