Non- and under-vaccination among children in Malawi have received little attention. Between 2010 and 2016, the proportion of children who received full immunization before their first birthday dropped from 81% to 76% in Malawi. This signifies that a certain fraction of children are either non-vaccinated or under-vaccinated. Thus, the present study attempted to examine the predictors of non- and under-vaccination among children aged 12-23 months in Malawi.
