The study aimed to explore the predictors for complete immunisation among 18-month to 24-month-old children in the urban slum area of Hlaingthayar Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted from 21 to 25 July 2018. A total of 298 mothers of 18-month to 24-month-old children were recruited from the urban slum areas under five randomly selected wards by applying the cluster sampling method. Multiple binary logistic regression was performed to explore the predictors for complete immunisation.

Multivariate logistic regression model revealed that mothers having university and above education (AOR=2.65, 95%\u2009CI 1.07 to 6.56), mothers with permanent residency (AOR=2.19, 95%\u2009CI 1.16 to 4.15), primiparous mothers (AOR=1.76, 95%\u2009CI 1.05 to 2.95), mothers with medium knowledge (AOR=2.38, 95%\u2009CI 1.07 to 5.30) and high knowledge about childhood immunisation (AOR=5.89, 95%\u2009CI 2.23 to 15.60), and mothers with positive perception of childhood immunisation (AOR=2.26, 95%\u2009CI 1.33 to 3.85) were the significant predictors for complete immunisation among children.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The proportion of complete immunisation was low, and associated with maternal education, residency, parity, knowledge and perception of childhood immunisation.
