Despite the steady increase in immunization coverage in Kenya, the most recent Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) shows that there is still immunization inequality across the country. Nationally, 2 out of every 3 (66.67%) children has been fully immunized but only 2 out of every 5 (40%) children in the North Eastern region were fully vaccinated1. There is a need to identify the characteristics of the households with children who are not fully immunized for effective intervention.
