- The study aimed to evaluate how the continuity of healthcare (antenatal, skilled delivery, and postnatal care) that mothers receive affects the immunization status of their children aged 12-23 months in Myanmar.
- Analyzed data from the 2015-16 Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey, the study found a significant association, where children whose mothers received continuous care were 1.6 times more likely to be fully vaccinated compared to those who did not.
- Results indicated a low prevalence of both maternal care (42.5%) and fully immunized children (33.5%), suggesting the need for better integration of maternal and child health services to improve vaccination rates and support sustainable development goals in Myanmar.
