    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Pediatrics
    • Migration Health

    Background:

    • Despite health initiatives, migrant children's vaccination remains a challenge in Morocco.
    • Sub-Saharan migrant children under 5 in Casablanca face significant barriers to healthcare access.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess vaccination coverage among sub-Saharan migrant children under 5 in Casablanca.
    • To identify factors associated with incomplete vaccination in this vulnerable population.

    Main Methods:

    • An analytical cross-sectional study using snow-ball sampling.
    • Data collected via questionnaires from sub-Saharan migrant mothers (socio-demographics, vaccination knowledge, service accessibility).
    • Multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of vaccination status.

    Main Results:

    • 57% of children under 5 were incompletely or non-vaccinated.
    • Maternal education, knowledge of vaccination benefits, understanding the vaccination calendar, and perceived barriers (administrative, psychological) significantly influenced vaccination status.
    • Factors like professional status and waiting times also showed associations with vaccination completion.

    Conclusions:

    • Incomplete vaccination among sub-Saharan migrant children under 5 in Casablanca is a persistent public health concern.
    • Improving healthcare coverage and addressing identified barriers are crucial for enhancing vaccination rates in this population.
