Despite the fact that immunization services are offered free of charge in Ethiopia but the coverage of complete vaccination is still low. The aim of the study is to determine incomplete vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in Gondar city administration, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018.
The proportion of incomplete vaccination among children aged 12-23 months in Gondar city adminstration was 24.3% (95% CI 19.3, 29.2). Knowledge about the benefits of vaccination (AOR = 6.1 (95% CI 1.3, 28.9), the age at which the child begins vaccination (AOR = 2.4 (95% CI 1.09, 8.4) time taken to reach nearby health facility and means of transportation to nearby health facility (AOR = 0.22 95% CI 0.06, 0.9) have statistically significant association with incomplete vaccination. In the current study the proportion of incomplete vaccination was found to be high. Increasing the awareness about vaccination for child care givers and further improve caregiver's knowledge towards the benefit of vaccination is important.
尽管埃塞俄比亚提供免费免疫服务，但全程疫苗接种覆盖率仍然很低。本研究的目的是确定2018年埃塞俄比亚西北部贡德尔市行政区12至23个月大儿童的未完成疫苗接种情况及相关因素。
贡德尔市行政区12至23个月大儿童未完成疫苗接种的比例为24.3%（95%置信区间19.3，29.2）。对疫苗接种益处的了解（调整后比值比[AOR]=6.1（95%置信区间1.3，28.9））、儿童开始接种疫苗的年龄（AOR=2.4（95%置信区间1.09，8.4））、到达附近医疗机构所需时间以及前往附近医疗机构的交通方式（AOR=0.22，95%置信区间0.06，0.9）与未完成疫苗接种在统计学上有显著关联。在本研究中，发现未完成疫苗接种的比例很高。提高儿童护理人员对疫苗接种的认识并进一步增强护理人员对疫苗接种益处的了解很重要。
