Background Immunization is the process by which a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of vaccine. Vaccination coverage for other single vaccines ranged from 49.1% for PCV to 69.2% for BCG vaccine. The vaccination coverage for basic vaccinations was 39.7% in Ethiopia. There have been epidemiological studies available on immunization in Ethiopia. Yet, these studies revealed a wide variation over time and across geographical areas. This systematic review and Meta-analysis aim to estimate the overall immunization coverage among 12–23 months children in Ethiopia. Methods Cross-sectional studies that reported on immunization coverage from 2003 to August 2019 were systematically searched. Searches were conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and gray literature. Information was extracted using a standardized form of Joanna Briggs Institute. The search was updated 20 Jan 2020 to decrease time-lag bias. The quality of studies assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute cross-sectional study quality assessment criteria. I-squared statistics applied to check the heterogeneity of studies. A funnel plot, Begg’s test, and Egger’s regression test was used to check for publication bias. Results Out of 206 studies, 30 studies with 21,672 children with mothers were included in the Meta-analysis. The pooled full immunization coverage using the random-effect model in Ethiopia was 58.92% (95% CI: 51.26–66.58%). The trend of immunization coverage was improved from time to time, but there were great disparities among different regions. Amhara region had the highest pooled fully immunized coverage, 72.48 (95%CI: 62.81–82.16). The I2 statistics was I2 = 99.4% (p = 0.0001). A subgroup meta-analysis showed that region and study years were not the sources of heterogeneity. Conclusion This review showed that full immunization coverage in Ethiopia was 58.92% (95% CI: 51.26–66.58%). The study suggests that the child routine immunization program needs to discuss this low immunization coverage and the current practice needs revision.

OBJECTIVES: vaccination prevents 2-3 million deaths from diphtheria, tetanus, and measles. The research conducted in Ethiopia (2012) showed that only 50% of under-five year-old-children fully complete their vaccination. Therefore, this study aimed to assess vaccination status and associated factors among under-five year-old-children in Mettu town. METHODS: The structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 118 respondents in the study area. To assess the determinant factors of vaccination status among under-five year-old-children, the Chi-square test of association and Binary logistic regression were used, and data was analyzed using SPSS 20. RESULTS: Of a total of 118 children, only 68 (57.6%) completed the vaccination, and 50(42.4%) of them did not complete their vaccination. The result from logistic regression revealed that vaccination status under-five year-old-children was significantly related to the marital status mother’s (Widowed: p-value: 0.007; CI:1.701, 28.818), educational status of the household head (illiterate: p-value: 0.032; CI:0.024, 0.848), monthly income of the household (income>154.9 USD: p-value: 0.024*; CI: 1.322, 48.460), and residence area of the household (Urban: p-value: 0. 015; CI: 1.297, 10.981). CONCLUSIONS: Of a total of 118 children, only 68 (57.6%) completed the vaccination, and 50(42.4%) of them did not complete their vaccination. The findings of this study showed that marital status, educational status, income, and residence were the major factors related to vaccination status among under-five age children. Therefore, the region, zone and district administration and health offices give attention through different methods like training via extension workers to complete the vaccination in the study area.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study showed that marital status, educational status, income, and residence were the major factors associated with incomplete vaccination status among under-five age children. Therefore, there is urgent need to fill the immunization gap in the area through vaccination campaigns by health offices and public health education and by extension workers.
