Abstract

Introduction: Measles is a vaccine-preventable disease whose elimination depends on the measles-containing vaccine (MCV) coverage of ≥95% in the population. In 2020, Kenya reported 597 cases, an increase of 158 cases from those reported in 2019. This study aimed to estimate the measles vaccine coverage and factors associated with its uptake in Cherangany Sub County. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using cluster sampling in the Cherangany Sub County of Trans Nzoia County in May 2021. We enrolled eligible children aged between 24–59 months and interviewed their caregivers using a structured questionnaire. We conducted descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. We used Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) at bivariate and adjusted POR (aPOR) at multivariate with their corresponding 95% confidence interval as the measure of association. We regarded the variables with a p-value of less
