Abstract
The reduction in vaccination rates currently reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) risks exposing children to deadly diseases. Therefore, this study aims to identify the determinants of non-vaccination and complete non-vaccination of children aged 0-11 months in the Kabimba-Uvira health area. This is a cross-sectional study with an analytical aim carried out in the Uvira health zone, specifically in the Kabimba health area. Our study population was 476 women with a child aged 0-11 months, from whom a stratified probability sample of 213 mothers was drawn. Data collection was done using a self-administered questionnaire, and data analysis was carried out using SPSS 25 software. The study demonstrated that the determinants of non-vaccination of children aged 0-11 months were: the environment of residence (long distance between the environment and the health structure); gender and lack of knowledge about the benefits of vaccination. Regarding the determinants of complete non-vaccination, unfavorable opinions (or lack of support) of children's fathers regarding vaccination were identified. Mass vaccination campaigns (door to door) remain a strategy and a priority in the environment of our study. In addition, raising awareness among parents about the benefits of vaccination cannot be ruled out.
