description OBJECTIVE: Despite the fact that immunization services are offered free of charge in Ethiopia but the coverage of complete vaccination is still low. The aim of the study is to determine incomplete vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in Gondar city administration, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018. RESULT: The proportion of incomplete vaccination among children aged 12–23 months in Gondar city adminstration was 24.3% (95% CI 19.3, 29.2). Knowledge about the benefits of vaccination (AOR = 6.1 (95% CI 1.3, 28.9), the age at which the child begins vaccination (AOR = 2.4 (95% CI 1.09, 8.4) time taken to reach nearby health facility and means of transportation to nearby health facility (AOR = 0.22 95% CI 0.06, 0.9) have statistically significant association with incomplete vaccination. In the current study the proportion of incomplete vaccination was found to be high. Increasing the awareness about vaccination for child care givers and further improve caregiver’s knowledge towards the benefit of vaccination is important.
