Core Tip
Core Tip: This study presented an innovative approach to child vaccine communication in promoting child immunization in the Amhara region, Ethiopia using a quantitative research approach. We found that immunization communication training has a significant impact on child vaccine communication practice. This finding has a potential influence on showcasing the role that communication plays in primary healthcare service delivery, like immunization. Consequently, it will be used to improve the efficiency and adequacy of child immunization outcomes in the near future. Scholars in the area can study the determinants of effective child vaccine and vaccination communication.
