The current coverage stands at 60% as of July 2017. We therefore aimed to determine factors associated with the uptake of IPV among children in Kalungu District so as to inform the implementation of the vaccine policy. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among caregivers of 406 eligible children aged 12\u201323\u2009months through multi-stage systematic sampling and a standardized semi-structured questionnaire. Nine key informant interviews were conducted through purposive selection of health care providers and members of Village Health Teams (VHTs) based on their expertize. Modified Poisson regression and thematic content analysis were used to determine factors significant to IPV uptake among children. 71% of sampled children aged 12\u201323\u2009months had received IPV in Kalungu District. The survey found that being encouraged by health workers and VHTs was significant to children\u2019s uptake of IPV (Adjusted PR 1.24, 95% CI; 1.22\u20133.47). Distance to the immunization point (Adjusted PR 0.32,95% CI; 0.16\u20130.62) and caregiver\u2019s education level (Adjusted PR 1.16,95% CI; 1.05\u20132.22) were also associated with IPV uptake. Qualitative findings from health workers and VHT members further confirmed the perception that distance to the immunization post was important, and VHTs also stated that being encouraged by health workers was critical to IPV uptake. The current prevalence of IPV uptake among children aged 12\u201323 months in Kalungu is 71%, higher than the last reported national coverage (60%), though still below the recommended national coverage of 95%. Efforts should be focused on sensitization of caregivers through health workers and VHTs. Immunization outreach should be strengthened so as to bring services closer to patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czaa099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,16]],"date-time":"2020-08-16T03:20:05Z","timestamp":1597548005000},"page":"i30-i37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Factors
