  1. The table presents estimated odds ratios (OR*), with 95% confidence intervals (CI), for selected variables found to be associated with missed opportunity for vaccination (P < 0.05) in bivariate analyses and adjusted odds ratios using the regression model to identify the risk factors for missed opportunity for vaccination in children under two years old.
  2. MO – Missed opportunity for vaccination, OR – Odds ratio, OR* – Adjusted odds ratio, % – percentage,
  3. *1 = reference variable, HF – health facility, C.I. – coefficient interval, EPI – Expanded Program on Immunization.
  4. Only significantly associated variables (p < 0.05) are shown in the table.
