Vaccination dropout between BCG and measles remains high in the Kikula Health Zone, driven primarily by lack of vaccination cards and maternal knowledge gaps. Administrative coverage data (>100%) mask substantial dropout, underscoring the need for improved documentation, maternal education, and targeted outreach. Programmatic implications include strengthening card management, deploying mobile vaccination units, and enhancing community reminders. Findings highlight the importance of addressing both demand and supply-side barriers to reduce dropout and improve equity in immunization coverage in the DRC.
