  1. The table presents estimated odds ratio (OR), with 95% confidence intervals (CI), for selected variables found to be associated with incomplete vaccination status (P < 0.05) in bivariate analyses and adjusted odds ratios using the regression model to identify the risk factors for incomplete vaccination status for children less than two years old.
  2. OR – Odds ratio, OR* – Adjusted odds ratio, % – percentage, *1 = reference variable, HF – health facility, C.I. – coefficient interval, EPI – Expanded Program on Immunization.
  3. & – Mean values compared using Anova test.
  4. Only significantly associated variables (p < 0.05) are shown in the table.
