Overview

Systematic review identifies key determinants affecting MCV2 vaccination uptake in Ethiopia, suggesting interventions to increase coverage.

Key Points

  • Only 34.4% of children under 5 in Ethiopia received the second dose of the measles vaccine, reflecting inadequate coverage.
  • High maternal education levels and antenatal care significantly increased likelihood of MCV2 uptake, with adjusted odds ratios of 3.31 and 2.02 respectively.
  • Observational analysis of quantitative research from multiple databases evaluated vaccination factors, ensuring diverse evidence pooling.
  • These findings highlight the need for educational interventions and improved healthcare access to boost immunization efforts in Ethiopia.
