Parents’ perspectives of the new neonatal BCG vaccination pathway in England: A qualitative study
Parents were generally accepting of the need to amend the BCG timeline on account of SCID screening; however, we identified distinct accessibility concerns that varied from those associated with the routine immunisation programme. These barriers, and the separateness of the BCG programme from routine services, impacted parental experiences and vaccine uptake. Addressing these challenges is important to meet neonatal BCG uptake targets and support…
Information needs of ethnically diverse, vaccine-hesitant parents during decision-making about the HPV vaccine for their adolescent child: A qualitative study
A new neonatal BCG vaccination pathway in England: A mixed methods evaluation of its implementation
The new NHS neonatal BCG service specification has created an effective structure for monitoring and managing the BCG vaccination programme, but further work is required to support delivery of the 28-day vaccination target and improve uptake rates
Parents’ and informal caregivers’ experiences of accessing childhood vaccination services within the United Kingdom: A systematic scoping review of empirical evidence
Accessibility is poorly conceptualised within most of the research conducted on childhood immunisation uptake within the UK. This, in part, is because exploring accessibility was not an explicit objective of many of the studies included in the review. It is vital that the accessibility of childhood vaccination services is given greater priority and appropriately defined in empirical research. Otherwise, researchers run the risk of limiting the sc…
Polio, public health memories and temporal dissonance of re-emerging infectious diseases in the global north
Caregivers’ understanding of childhood influenza vaccination during the epidemic in China. A mixed-methods study
Introduction: Influenza vaccination uptake among young children has been poor in China, but it is unclear how it changed during the COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the uptake status and reasons of childhood influenza vaccination during the pandemic in China. Methods: A mixed-methods study combining a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews was conducted in Anhui, Shaanxi, and Guangdong provinces between September and Novembe…
“We're potentially worsening health inequalities”: Evaluating how delivery of the 2022 London polio booster campaign was tailored to Orthodox Jewish families to reduce transmission vulnerability
A polio booster campaign targeting all children aged 1-9 was implemented across London between August-December 2022 as part of a national enhanced poliovirus incident response. Orthodox Jewish (OJ) children were particularly vulnerable to transmission due to disparities in childhood vaccination coverage and the transnational spread of poliovirus affecting linked populations in New York and Israel. This study aimed to evaluate how the polio booste…
Human papillomavirus vaccine communication materials for young people in English-speaking countries: A content analysis
Objective: To undertake a content analysis of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine communication materials available to young people. Design: Content analysis. Setting: Majority English-speaking countries. Methods: Between March and April 2020, a web engine was utilised to search for and retrieve relevant communication materials. Content analysis was used to describe how the following key issues were covered: (1) side effects, (2) safety, (3) pract…
We've all got the virus inside us now: Disaggregating public health relations and responsibilities for health protection in pandemic London
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted ethnic minorities in the global north, evidenced by higher rates of transmission, morbidity, and mortality relative to population sizes. Orthodox Jewish neighbourhoods in London had extremely high SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence rates, reflecting patterns in Israel and the US. The aim of this paper is to examine how responsibilities over health protection are conveyed, and to what extent responsibil…
What mechanisms drive uptake of family planning when integrated with childhood immunisation in Ethiopia? A realist evaluation
Linking context and intervention components to the mechanisms they triggered helped explain the intervention outcomes, and more broadly how and for whom the intervention worked. Linking empirical mechanisms to constructs of implementation related theoretical frameworks provided a level of abstraction through which findings could be cumulated across time, space, and conditions by theorising middle-range mechanisms
Is partnership the answer? Delivering the national immunisation programme in the new English health system: A mixed methods study
Key challenges in delivering the immunisation programme were rooted in the new health infrastructure, which had created greater distance between commissioners and providers and resulted in the fragmentation of programme responsibilities. Partnership working bridged gaps but more needs to be done to strengthen accountability mechanisms and ensure that collaborative activities are outcome oriented and sustainable in the shifting environment of reor…
We All Work Together to Vaccinate the Child’: A Formative Evaluation of a Community-Engagement Strategy Aimed at Closing the Immunization Gap in North-West Ethiopia
The role of community engagement (CE) in improving demand for immunization merits investigation. The International Rescue Committee developed a CE strategy to implement a vaccine defaulter-tracing tool and a color-coded health calendar aimed at increasing uptake of immunization services in north-west Ethiopia ( 'The Fifth Child Project'). We report findings from a formative evaluation of this project. In May/June 2016 we conducted 18 participant …
Field Workers at the Interface
This issue of Developing World Bioethics includes a collection of papers on intermediary staff and volunteers working at the interface between research institutions and researchers, and the communities from which research participants are recruited. ‘Field worker’ – a short hand commonly used in many research settings – refers here to those whose main role is face-to-face engagement with participants, who usually speak the participants’ first lan…
Ethical Challenges that Arise at the Community Interface of Health R esearch: Village R eporters’ Experiences in Western K enya
Community E ngagement ( CE ) has been presented by bio‐ethicists and scientists as a straightforward and unequivocal good which can minimize the risks of exploitation and ensure a fair distribution of research benefits in developing countries. By means of ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in K enya between 2007 and 2009 we explored how CE is understood and enacted in paediatric vaccine trials conducted by the K enyan M edical R esearch I nstitute…
Our son Obama: The US presidential election in Western Kenya
Writing from the city of Kisumu located 60 kilometres from the birthplace of Barack Obama's father, the authors describe the Obama-mania gripping Kenya and follow Kenyans' debates, both light-hearted and serious, concerning Obama's kinship ties to Kenya and the expectations these raise. They argue that Kenyan's hopes and fears surrounding the US elections should be understood in the context of the contested December 2007 Kenyan elections and the …
The Role Familiarity With Science and Medicine Plays in Parents’ Decision Making About Enrolling a Child in Vaccine Research
Parental consent to children’s participation in vaccine research has resulted in the licensure of essential vaccines. Recruitment to this type of research is typically difficult, however, and many parents decline. In this study, the authors interviewed parents about their decision for or against enrolling their child in a vaccine study. The data analysis suggests that parents’ ability to evaluate a vaccine study depends on how attuned they are wi…
