Abstract: This document is a research article focusing on childhood vaccination timeliness in the Federated States of Micronesia. It covers the period from 2010 to 2020 and examines the vaccination rates and schedules for various childhood vaccines, including measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and polio. The study utilizes quantitative methods to analyze vaccination data collected from health records across multiple islands, including Pohnpei, Chuuk, and Yap. The research investigates factors influencing vaccination delays, such as geographic accessibility, parental awareness, and healthcare infrastructure. It also discusses the implications of vaccination timeliness on public health outcomes and the effectiveness of existing vaccination programs.
