Knowledge and Competencies of Vaccinators on Routine Childhood Vaccination in Ghana

Abstract

Background: The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), since its inception in 1974, has helped avert about 2-3 million deaths annually. In Ghana, there is inadequate information on the transition from knowledge acquired in the classroom to practice among vaccinators. This study seeks to provide evidence on the level of knowledge and competencies of vaccinators in Ghana.
