Abstract	Background Achieving universal health coverage includes ensuring that children have access to vaccines that are of high quality, safe, efficacious, and affordable. The Immunisation Agenda 2030 aims to expand services to zero-dose and incompletely vaccinated children and reduce immunisation rate disparities as a contribution to vaccination equity. This study explored the factors influencing full vaccination status among children aged 12 – 23 months in a rural district of the Upper East Region of Ghana. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted among carers of children aged 12 -23 months in the Kassena Nankana West district. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 360 carers. Information regarding the vaccination status of children was gathered through a combination of children’s health record books and carers’ recollections. Information on potential determinants was also systematically collected for analysis in Stata version 15.0. Results The results showed that 76.9% (95% CI: 72.3 – 81.0) of children had full vaccinations per the national schedule. All children received at least one vaccination. A higher percentage of carers with incompletely vaccinated children reported that they had travelled with their children as the primary reason for missing certain vaccine doses. Full vaccination status was significantly associated with secondary (aOR = 2.60; 95% CI: 1.20—5.63) and tertiary (aOR = 3.98, 95% CI: 1.34—11.84) maternal educational level, being in a partnership relationship (aOR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.03—4.25), and residing in close proximity to healthcare facilities (aOR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.21—0.80). Conclusions Our study found that nearly one-quarter of children aged 12—23 months in the study setting are underserved with vaccination services for a variety of reasons. Effectively reaching these children will require strengthening health systems, including eliminating vaccine shortages, addressing the unique challenges faced by unmarried women with children aged 12–23 months, and improving accessibility to vaccination services.
