Effectiveness of an online vaccine misinformation game for Arabic-speaking Australians
Background Vaccine misinformation can undermine vaccine confidence, institutional trust, and uptake. Arabic speakers in Australia are disproportionately susceptible to vaccine misinformation and have experienced adverse health outcomes. This randomized controlled trial tested the effectiveness of Cranky Uncle – Vaccine (Arabic) , a gamified psychological inoculation intervention, in improving vaccine attitudes, misinformation discernment, and ins…
Coverage and social and behavioural drivers of routine childhood immunisation in selected regions in the Philippines
INTRODUCTION: Like many countries globally, childhood immunisation coverage is below government targets in the Philippines and has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. This study aimed to identify the social and behavioural drivers of routine childhood immunisation and preferred caregiver information sources to improve uptake in the Philippines. METHODS: A quantitative, cross-sectional study…
RE-AIM evaluation of a community-based vaccine education and communication program to improve human papillomavirus vaccine uptake in Tonga
There is a global need for effective strategies to improve acceptance and uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, particularly in the Pacific where cervical screening and treatment options are limited. While the Pacific Island nation of Tonga has high routine childhood vaccine coverage, HPV vaccine uptake has remained low since its introduction in 2022. To improve vaccine acceptance and uptake, recent evidence supports the use of commun…
Developing Community‐Informed Communication Resources to Improve Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Uptake in Tonga
INTRODUCTION: Despite high coverage of routine childhood vaccines, uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the Pacific Island nation of Tonga has been slow. Culturally appropriate communication resources on the importance, safety, and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine are critical to support acceptance and uptake. To develop these resources, it is important to understand what people want to know. We aimed to explore HPV vaccine informa…
Factors influencing pediatric Covid-19 vaccination uptake
Key factors associated with COVID-19 pediatric vaccination uptake in the Philippines were perceived protection against COVID-19 illness, government mandated regulations and healthcare worker recommendations, while non-vaccination was associated with safety concerns, and children's age and preference to not be vaccinated. Understanding the social and behavioral drivers among caregivers may help policy decision-makers and implementers develop targe…
Training health workers and community influencers to be Vaccine Champions
INTRODUCTION: Increasing trust and confidence in vaccines is a global priority, as countries have grappled with delivering COVID-19 vaccines, maintaining routine childhood vaccination rates and introducing new vaccines. Community-based vaccine promotion interventions are commonly implemented, but effectiveness evidence is limited. In 2022, supported by the Australian Government and in partnership with Fiji's Ministry of Health and UNICEF, we code…
Stakeholder perspectives of immunisation delivery for adolescents with disability in specialist schools in Victoria, Australia
Our study identified a range of facilitators and barriers to the school immunisation program for students with disabilities in specialist schools. The next phase of this work will use co-design workshops to build on the suggestions for improvement and opportunities that could be leveraged to improve vaccination uptake
Canadian healthcare workers’ mental health and health behaviours during the Covid-19 pandemic
Results demonstrate that the impacts of COVID-19 on HCWs' mental health and health behaviours were significant, and varied by sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., sex, age, income)
The Pendulum Has Swung
Rather than concentrating primarily on children and adolescents, there has been a shift in the discourse around immunisation to encompass a whole-of-life approach. This study aimed to explore key informant's and stakeholder's perceptions of factors impacting provision of immunisation programs for Australian adults and to identify strategies to promote acceptance and uptake. Semi-structured telephone interviews were undertaken with people involved…
Exploring the routine vaccination experience of Australian autistic children and their families
Autistic children, adolescents and their younger siblings are less likely to be fully vaccinated compared to their peers in the general population. A focus on the influence of the unfounded link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism has distracted from consideration of unique family experiences and autistic-child related factors, such as emotional and behavioural differences, that may influence caregivers’ vaccination de…
Parent-level barriers to uptake of childhood vaccination
INTRODUCTION: Understanding barriers to childhood vaccination is crucial to inform effective interventions for maximising uptake. Published systematic reviews include different primary studies, producing varying lists of barriers. To make sense of this diverse body of literature, a comprehensive level of summary and synthesis is necessary. This overview of systematic reviews maps all potential parent-level barriers to childhood vaccination identi…
Clinical trial recruitment of adult African American smokers from economically disadvantaged urban communities
This investigation evaluated the effectiveness and challenges of multiple recruitment methods, described as proactive, reactive, and combination methods, among adult African American smokers ( N = 527) from economically disadvantaged urban communities enrolled to test progressively reduced nicotine content investigational cigarettes. The study evaluated success using descriptive statistics to measure the volume of phone calls and percentage of el…
Using the COMMVAC taxonomy to map vaccination communication interventions in Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Improved communication about childhood vaccination is fundamental to increasing vaccine uptake in low-income countries. Mozambique, with 64% of children fully vaccinated, uses a range of communication interventions to promote uptake of childhood immunisation. OBJECTIVES: Using a taxonomy developed by the 'Communicate to Vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, the study aims to identify and classify the existing communication interventions for v…
Factors affecting the implementation of childhood vaccination communication strategies in Nigeria
Communication activities are a crucial element of immunization programmes. It is therefore important for policy makers and programme managers to understand the barriers and facilitators affecting the delivery of vaccination communication so as to be able to implement communication interventions more effectively
The comprehensive ‘Communicate to Vaccinate’ taxonomy of communication interventions for childhood vaccination in routine and campaign contexts
This taxonomy provides a standardised way to think and speak about vaccination communication. It is categorised by purpose to help conceptualise communication interventions as potential solutions to address needs or problems. It can be utilised by programme planners, implementers, researchers and funders to see the range of communication interventions used in practice, facilitate evidence synthesis and identify evidence gaps
Communication strategies to promote the uptake of childhood vaccination in Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Effective communication is a critical component in ensuring that children are fully vaccinated. Although numerous communication interventions have been proposed and implemented in various parts of Nigeria, the range of communication strategies used has not yet been mapped systematically. This study forms part of the 'Communicate to vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, an initiative aimed at building research evidence for improving communicat…
Mapping how information about childhood vaccination is communicated in two regions of Cameroon
By identifying the interventions used in Cameroon and developing an intervention map, we allowed stakeholders to see where they were concentrating their communication efforts and where gaps exist, allowing them to reflect on whether changes are needed to the communication strategies they are using
“Communicate to vaccinate”
BACKGROUND: Vaccination is a cost-effective public health measure and is central to the Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality. However, childhood vaccination coverage remains sub-optimal in many settings. While communication is a key feature of vaccination programmes, we are not aware of any comprehensive approach to organising the broad range of communication interventions that can be delivered to parents and communities to imp…
