Data collection focused on vaccination behaviors and transnational influences.
Analysis included associations between cross-border factors and vaccination coverage.
Limited effect of cross-border vaccination behavior on overall vaccination coverage.

Abstract

Cross-border vaccination behaviour appeared to have a limited effect on the overall vaccination coverage; however, it was found to be significantly associated with transnational factors. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring cross-border public health access to improve vaccination coverage data and inform public health policies in border regions.
