  abstract = {{D}etailed knowledge about hepatitis {B} virus ({HBV}) vaccination coverage and timeliness for sub-{S}aharan {A}frica is scarce. {W}e used data from a community-based cross-sectional survey conducted in 2018-2019 in the area of {N}iakhar, {S}enegal, to estimate coverage, timeliness, and factors associated with non-adherence to the {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganisation-recommended vaccination schedules in children born in 2016 (year of the birth dose ({BD}) introduction in {S}enegal) and 2017-2018. {V}accination status was assessed from vaccination cards, surveillance data, and healthcare post vaccination records. {A}mong 241 children with available data, for 2016 and 2017-2018, respectively, 31.0% and 66.8% received the {BD} within 24 h of birth ({BD} schedule), and 24.3% and 53.7% received the {BD} plus at least two pentavalent vaccine doses within the recommended timeframes (three-dose schedule). {I}n logistic regression models, home birth, dry season birth, and birth in 2016 were all associated with non-adherence to the recommended {BD} and three-dose schedules. {L}iving over three kilometres from the nearest healthcare post, being the firstborn, and living in an agriculturally poorer household were only associated with non-adherence to the three-dose schedule. {T}he substantial proportion of children not vaccinated according to recommended schedules highlights the importance of considering vaccination timeliness when evaluating vaccination programme effectiveness. {O}utreach vaccination activities and incentives to bring children born at home to healthcare facilities within 24 h of birth, must be strengthened to improve timely {HBV} vaccination.},
