Childhood vaccination coverage and determinants in Jordan: a population-based study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlobally, concerns about vaccine efficacy, safety, and long-term health impacts continue to increase among parents, resulting in a decline in the percentage of children receiving full vaccination. Within Jordan, several parental-related factors have previously been implicated in vaccine uptake. The current study aimed to investigate whether vaccination rates are changing in Jordan and to explore further the factors that influence parental vaccine decisions.
methodsThe current study analyzed data from the survey responses of mothers of 1,426 mother-child pairs (ages 12–23 months) sampled in the Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS) between January and June 2023. The associations between sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors (including age, education, and employment), healthcare access, and childhood vaccination outcomes were explored. Healthcare access was measured through self-report of distance to a healthcare facility, while healthcare utilization was measured through the number of antenatal care visits. Whether the child’s mother had health insurance coverage was also included in the analysis model. Key confounding variables were included in the adjusted logistic regression model. The outcome variable was full vaccination coverage (defined in the national immunization schedule of Jordan).
resultsAmong the participants, 79% (n = 1,132) reported full vaccination coverage. 57% of mothers had a secondary or higher education, and this group was more likely to report full vaccination, higher education (AOR: 3.86, 95% CI: 1.14–13.05) and secondary education (AOR: 3.11, CI: 1.07–9.08). Most participants live in urban areas, with mothers living in rural areas less likely to report full child vaccination (AOR: 0.50, CI: 0.29–0.85).
conclusionThe results of the current study demonstrate that the percentage of children who received all basic vaccinations between 2023 and 2024 has declined since 2017–2018 in Jordan. Furthermore, maternal education is a key driving force behind achieving full vaccine uptake. Living in a rural area appears to reduce the likelihood of a child receiving full vaccination, while distance to a healthcare facility does not. These results require further investigation to inform the development of interventions aimed at slowing declining vaccine rates.
