This indicator measures the proportion of children aged 12 to 23 months who have not received any vaccinations, highlighting a
critical gap in immunization coverage within this vulnerable age group. Data is derived from either the vaccination cards or the mothers' reports at the time of the survey, reflecting the overall accessibility and acceptance of immunization services in the community. A higher percentage of unvaccinated children can indicate potential barriers such as healthcare access, parental awareness, or systemic healthcare issues. Monitoring this statistic is essential for public health initiatives, as it helps identify regions or demographics at risk, ultimately guiding
targeted interventions to improve vaccination rates and protect children against preventable diseases.
