This study suggests marked deficits in immunization knowledge among vaccination staff and exposes common attitudes and practices that could contribute to missed opportunities for vaccination and hinder vaccination coverage and equity in Cameroon. Our findings highlight the urgent need to invest in comprehensive capacity building of vaccination staff in Cameroon, especially now that the immunization program is becoming increasingly complex.
