Abstract

Globally, immunization is among the major contributors to public health. It prevents 20% of childhood mortality annually. The highest fatality rates from vaccine preventable diseases are usually among children under five. Despite immunization guidelines put in place by the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.5 million children die globally on annual basis due to inadequate vaccination coverage. Existing literature indicate there is an increase in non-adherence to immunization schedule in developing countries and therefore an increased demand to improve adherence to immunization schedule. The Nigeria Demographic and health Survey 2014 documented Nigeria vaccination coverage for infants as 76%. Improving immunization adherence is an important measure in reducing morbidity and mortality from childhood immunizable diseases. So therefore, this study aimed to determine the determinants contributing to nursing mothers and their children’s adherence with immunization regimen in infant welfare clinic in Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital Sagamu, Ogun State.
