Improving Routine Immunization Uptake: Influence of Health Education on Caregivers Attending Immunization Sessions in Gombe State, Nigeria
Adedeji S.
Abstract
This study examines the role of health education in improving routine immunization uptake among caregivers attending immunization sessions in Gombe State, Nigeria. It explores how the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of caregivers are influenced by health education interventions delivered at health facilities. By assessing the relationship between exposure to health education and immunization compliance, the study aims to identify key factors that enhance or hinder vaccine uptake. The findings are expected to inform strategies for strengthening immunization programs, improving caregiver engagement, and ultimately increasing vaccination coverage in the region.
