Abstract

Using cross section data from rural Ethiopia, this paper investigates the socio‐economic determinants of child immunization. Results of a generalized ordered logit model show that child immunization is strongly associated with child's age, housing quality, presence of health extension worker in a village, proximity to district capital, access to primary school and ethnic diversity. The paper draws both supply‐side and demand‐side implications to increase full immunization for children in rural Ethiopia. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
