Overview

Cross-sectional survey revealed 46.4% MCV2 coverage in Cameroon, indicating barriers to vaccination uptake.

Key Points

  • MCV2 vaccination coverage stands at 46.4%, indicating a significant gap in achieving the 95% target set by WHO.
  • Among unvaccinated children, 85.3% of caregivers expressed a willingness to vaccinate, highlighting high acceptance of the vaccine.
  • A community-based cross-sectional survey engaged 140 parents of children aged 15–23 months to assess vaccination status.
  • High awareness of MCV2 exists, yet structural and informational barriers hinder equitable immunization access.
