Oral polio vaccination coverage at birth is affected by both accessibility and newborn factors.
The study found a strong correlation (r = 0.759) between low birth weight and OPV0 coverage.
Trend projections suggest OPV0 coverage will decline to 84.1% by 2030, below the national target.
Improving vaccination accessibility may reduce the number of defaulters during newborn vaccine scheduling.
