Childhood Immunization Coverage Indicators for Ghana, 2022 Survey

Ahlam Tunteeya Saani's dataset analyzes immunization coverage for 3,788 children aged 12–35 months from the 2022 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. It includes weighted coverage estimates for individual vaccines and composite indicators like full immunization, dropout rates, and timeliness. The data was last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Model predictors of full immunization completion based on sociodemographic factors, healthcare utilization, and information access.
• Analyze equity in immunization coverage based on wealth, maternal education, and regional disparities mentioned in the description.
• Calculate vaccine dropout rates and timeliness metrics for program evaluation.
• Assess the impact of policy interventions like facility delivery and antenatal care visits on immunization outcomes.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a nationally representative survey using stratified two-stage cluster sampling across 614 enumeration areas.
• Includes specific coverage statistics: 69.5% full immunization, 25.7% partial, and 4.8% zero-dose children.
• Analysis incorporates multivariate logistic regression results with adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for key predictors.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating it likely contains summary or processed indicators rather than raw survey data.
