Health Worker and Caregiver Interaction During Child Vaccination Sessions at Health Facilities in Somali Region of Ethiopia
Globally two to three million children die of vaccine-preventable diseases annually. Immunization remains a reliable high impact strategy to decrease deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases and a key strategy to attain UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 3 that aims to decrease mortality in under-fives to 25/1000 live births by 2030. The Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) has shown consistent improvement in national EPI coverage over the past years from 18% in 2000 to 39% in 2016. The current highest vaccine coverage is in Addis Ababa (89%) and the lowest in the Somali region (19%).
