Individual and community-level determinants of pentavalent vaccination dropouts among under-five children in the sub-Saharan African countries: A multilevel analysis of the recent demographic and health survey

Globally, each year, about 3 million deaths among children are prevented by pentavalent vaccinations. However, in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, pentavalent vaccination dropout rates are not well reported. Therefore, this study aimed to assess pentavalent vaccination dropout rates and their determinants among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
