Immunization remains a vital public health tool in preventing infectious diseases, particularly among children. However, despite its benefits, immunization coverage in Mayaki remains below optimal levels. Vaccination drives are frequently used to enhance coverage, but continuous evaluation is essential to guide effective strategies. A total of 100 respondents were selected using a stratified random sampling technique to ensure fair representation across various communities in Mayaki. Data collection involved structured questionnaires administered to parents and caregivers, focusing on vaccination history, knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential techniques to explore the relationship between vaccination drives and immunization coverage. Findings show that vaccination drives positively impact immunization rates in Mayaki. However, their effectiveness is influenced by several factors, including community awareness, accessibility to health services, and the quality of vaccine delivery. The study also uncovered significant challenges affecting the success of vaccination efforts. These include vaccine hesitancy among caregivers, logistical issues in vaccine distribution, and weak community mobilization efforts. To enhance immunization coverage, the study recommends several strategies: increased community engagement and health education, strengthening vaccine supply chains and logistics, improving healthcare worker training and support, and encouraging stronger collaboration among stakeholders. Implementing these recommendations can help boost the effectiveness of vaccination drives, reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases, and promote better health outcomes in Mayaki and similar rural settings. Finally, the study emphasizes the need for further research into the long-term sustainability of vaccination programs and the integration of immunization into routine healthcare systems. It provides critical insights for policymakers, health workers, and community leaders to design more effective immunization strategies tailored to local needs....Preview Download Preview +Other Community Health project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and awareness of the effects of narcotic drug use among students of Federal Polytechnic Idah»Effect of immunization in children between the ages of 0-5 in family health centre Idah Local Government Area Kogi State»The effect of abortion on female students in College of Health Sciences and Technology Idah, Kogi»Factors influencing the attitude of women towards family planning - case study of Oke Eiri, Atan Local Government Area»Problem of pregnancy and abortion on girl child education in Nigeria»Effect of malnutrition among children under five years of age in Patigi community of Patigi local government area of Kwara state»Attitude of couple toward modern family planning practice in Birnin Gwari, Birnin Gwari local government, Kaduna state»Importance of exclusive breast feeding on the health of an infant - case study of Idah local government area of Kogi state»Knowledge of protein energy malnutrition and its prevention among mothers with children below five years of age in Ubiegbe Community Idah, Lga, Kogi state»Causes, effects and control of communicable diseases in secondary schools»The impact of community health works in elderly condition in Ungogo local government»A study on the causes, effects, prevention and control of threatened abortion among childbearing mothers ages (18-45) years in Gilead Children Hospital»Causes and effects of drug abuse among adolescent in Amede community»Assessment of prevalence malaria among the patients attending Tofa comprehensive hospital»Assessing the mother knowledge on the benefit of breast feeding among children 0 - 24 months - a case study of Matoya village Maigatari local government, Jigawa state
