“Grandmothers as gatekeepers”
Vaccine hesitancy is responsible for the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases in Nigeria due to suboptimal immunization as seen in urban slums. Older women are traditionally influential in infant health decision-making in African communities; however, their roles in addressing vaccine hesitancy remain underexplored. This study explored the perceived reasons for vaccine hesitancy and methods employed by older women to address vaccine hesitan…
Leading from behind the scenes
Community birth attendants (CBAs) represent an insufficiently integrated resource in childhood immunization programs, particularly in urban slum communities where healthcare access remains challenging. Their role as birth attendants has been well documented, however, understanding their role in infant vaccination uptake is crucial for improving immunization uptake and child welfare. This study explored the knowledge of CBAs about infant immunizat…
Improving timeliness and completion of infant vaccination among infants in Nigerian urban slums through older women's participation
Nigerian urban slums have a high population of infants with suboptimal vaccination despite previous interventions. Older women traditionally play supervisory roles in infant care in Nigeria but their influence is untapped in infant vaccination. This study sought to determine if training of older women (≥35 years) in urban slum communities in Ibadan, South west Nigeria, and involving them in infant vaccination will improve infant vaccination timel…
Sex inequality in under-five deaths and associated factors in low and middle-income countries
There were sex inequalities in the U5D in LMIC with prominent pro-male-inequality in many countries. Interventions targeted towards the improvement of the health system that will, in turn, prevent preterm delivery and improve management of prematurity and early childhood infection (which are selective threats to the male child survival) are urgently required to address this inequality
Effect of intensive training in improving older women's knowledge and support for infant vaccination in Nigerian urban slums
Participatory learning improved the knowledge about, and support for infant vaccination among older women supervising child care in these urban slum communities. Similar training may be extended to comparable settings in order to improve demand for infant vaccination
