The study revealed that there has been an increase in the coverage of complete vaccination from 1998 to 2014 in Ghana. Mother's place of residence, education, and religious affiliation were significantly associated with full childhood vaccination. Although there was an increase in complete childhood vaccination, it is imperative to improve health education and expand maternal and child health services to rural areas and among women with no formal education to further increase complete vaccination coverage in Ghana.
