Interventions for improving coverage of childhood immunisation in low- and middle-income countries

CONCLUSIONS: Health education, home-based records, a combination of involvement of community leaders with health provider intervention, and integration of immunisation services may improve vaccine uptake. The certainty of the evidence for the included interventions ranged from moderate to very low. Low certainty of the evidence implies that the true effect of the interventions might be markedly different from the estimated effect. Further, more rigorous RCTs are, therefore, required to generate high-certainty evidence to inform policy and practice.PMID:38054505 | PMC:PMC10698843 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD008145.pub4
