  • Sampled 711 children using the WHO 30×7 cluster sampling method.
  • Verified immunization status through vaccination cards and caregiver history.
  • Analyzed data with descriptive statistics and chi-square tests using SPSS v22.0.
  • Full immunization coverage was significantly lower in urban areas (82.0%) compared to rural areas (92.3%).
  • Higher dropout rates were observed for later vaccines, particularly Pentavalent 3 (urban 81.7% vs. rural 91.8%) and Measles (urban 85.0% vs. rural 93.2%).
