    1.1 INTRODUCTION Immunization is the process of inducing an immune response or making our body resistant to an infectious disease, typically by administering a vaccine [1]. Defaulting of immunization refers to missing at least one or more recommended vaccine doses by the national expanded program of immunization (EPI) [2]. Besides the attainment of high coverage of vaccines, receiving complete immunization under 2 year of age is essential to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases among Children. It is vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, poverty reduction, and universal health coverage [3]. Globally, 19.4 million (14%) were not fully vaccinated in 2018, and among them, 13.5 million (70%) did not receive any diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) doses in low-income countries, which is a principal indicator of immunization performance[4]. An estimated 5 million children died each year worldwide [5], nearly 199,000 deaths caused by Haemophilus Influenza type b (Hib), 195,000 by pertussis, 118,000 by measles, 59,000 by neonatal tetanus, 476,000 by pneumococcal disease, and 453,000 by rotavirus [6, 7] African and Southeast Asian nations are the foremost influenced districts by vaccine preventable malady, which accounted for 50% of all under-five passing’s in 2018 [8, 9]. Ethiopia contributes 46% of the cases, with 51% of deaths from measles among eight eastern African nations [1]. There is a noteworthy difference in default from immunization between developed and creating nations, extending from 1% within the Western Pacific to 10% within the African locale, the most elevated (7%) among high-income countries to 3% in low-income countries for the third dosage of DTP3 [4]. In Ethiopia, the most obstruction of immunization is not the primary measurements; instep, completion of all prescribed measurements within the suitable age. Since the 2016 national report prove that, a huge number (79.1%) of children age 12 to 23 months took OPV1 (to begin with measurements of the verbal polio immunization), from this, as it were 47.4% of children took MCV1 (final dosage of measles vaccine).The overall default rate varied among regions, 2 ranging from 58.6% in the Somali region to 9.3% in Addis Ababa [10]. Similarly, there was marked variation among districts within the same region in Ethiopia. In the South Nation Nationality of People region, Arbaminch town was relatively high (41.2%) [11] compared with the Wonago district (20.7%) [12] and Omo district (27%) [13] A number of studies about were conducted on child immunization default at national levels in Ethiopia by utilizing EDHS 2016 [14, 15]. In spite of this gigantic exertion to scale up the national immunization scope, full immunization remained at 43% in 2019, distant from arranged scope of 90% at the national level and 80% in each locale level with all antibodies by 2020 [16] with tremendous variety among districts [17]
