This indicator reflects the percentage of children aged 12 to 23 months who have not received any vaccinations, as indicated by vaccination records or maternal reports. It provides critical insights into the
gaps in childhood immunization coverage, highlighting populations at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. A higher percentage of unvaccinated children may point to
barriers such as lack of access to healthcare, misinformation, or cultural practices that discourage vaccination. Understanding this statistic helps identify vulnerable groups and informs
targeted interventions aimed at increasing vaccination rates. Moreover, it offers a snapshot of public health challenges in specific regions, guiding policymakers in creating strategic frameworks to enhance immunization programs and protect child health.
