For the return of high vaccination coverage
This article describes the Project for the Regaining of the High Vaccination Coverage (PRCV) and the strategy of working at the frontline, conducted in the local level, which has been implemented since 2021 and is already starting to show promising results. The PRCV was organized in three thematic axes with shared and specific actions, including: vaccination; information systems; communication and education. The outcomes achieved allow us to affirm that it is possible to reverse the low vaccination coverage, based on the articulation of structural and interinstitutional actions, with the strengthening of public policies an...

Study on acute respiratory infection in children aged 1 year to 5 years-A hospital-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The studies regarding factors influencing ARI are relatively rare in an urban setting, thus this calls for more studies in urban areas. Health education can change the healthcare-seeking behavior and attitude of parents for preventing ARI-related deaths. Family physicians can play a significant role by educating caregivers of children and giving timely services. Promoting and ensuring exclusive breastfeeding practices, timely weaning after 6 months, and avoidance of bottle feeds can dramatically decrease the episodes of ARI.PMID:37312761 | PMC:PMC10259544 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1748_22

Assessing the characteristics of un- and under-vaccinated children in low- and middle-income countries: A multi-level cross-sectional study
PLOS Glob Public Health. 2022 Apr 27;2(4):e0000244. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgph.0000244. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTAchieving equity in vaccination coverage has been a critical priority within the global health community. Despite increased efforts recently, certain populations still have a high proportion of un- and under-vaccinated children in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These populations are often assumed to reside in remote-rural areas, urban slums and conflict-affected areas. Here, we investigate the effects of these key community-level factors, alongside a wide range of other individual, household and c...

Differential coverage for vaccines in the expanded program on immunization (EPI) among children in rural Pakistan
CONCLUSION: Vaccine coverage was low among children in Matiari, Pakistan, and majority received delayed doses. Parents' education status and year of study enrollment was protective against vaccine dropout and delayed vaccination whereas geographical distance from a major road was a predictor. Vaccine promotion and outreach efforts may have had a beneficial impact on vaccine coverage and timeliness.PMID:36933984 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.007

Second Dose Measles Vaccination Utilization and Associated Factors in Jabitehnan District, Northwest Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: Second dose measles vaccination utilization in the district was lower than the national target. Maternal education, distances from vaccination site, information about MCV2, and knowledge about immunization were significantly associated variables with second dose measles vaccination utilization. Therefore, in order to increase the utilization of the second dose of the measles vaccine, improved health education and service expansion to difficult-to-reach areas are required.PMID:36923301 | PMC:PMC10009019 | DOI:10.1177/15593258231164042
