Background: Vaccinations are crucial for public health, offering protection against many communicable diseases. This study aims to evaluate the coverage and effectiveness of childhood vaccination programs, which are essential for preventing diseases in a vulnerable population segment. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved collecting data from healthcare facilities, schools, and community centers. The study included 75 children and utilized vaccination records, health status reports, and demographic data. Stratified random sampling was employed to ensure a representative sample. Statistical analyses included Chi-Square Tests for incidence rates and Logistic Regression to adjust for confounders and assess vaccination effectiveness. Results: Vaccination Coverage: The study reported an overall vaccination coverage of 92%, with the highest rates among children aged 0-2 years (95%). Coverage decreased with age and was lower in rural areas (87%) compared to urban areas (95%). Health Outcomes: Vaccinated children showed significantly lower incidence rates of communicable diseases (2%) compared to unvaccinated children (15%). Specific diseases like measles (0.5% vs. 10%) and pertussis (1% vs. 8%) also showed lower incidence in vaccinated groups. Conclusion: The study underscores the high coverage and effectiveness of vaccinations in preventing communicable diseases among children, advocating for continued efforts to enhance vaccine outreach and education, particularly in underserved areas. Further research is recommended to address barriers to vaccination and explore the long-term effectiveness of vaccines.
