Assessing the impact of a gender-neutral approach to HPV vaccination on vaccination coverage for nine-year-old girls in Cameroon: A retrospective, cross-sectional study
Cameroon introduced the human papilloma virus vaccine (HPVV) into the routine immunization schedule in October 2020. By the end of 2022, coverage remained low. To increase coverage, Cameroon switched to a country-wide, gender-neutral vaccination (GNV) approach in 2023, coupled with a revamped delivery strategy of Community Dialogues (CDs) and Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization (PIRIs) activities in selected health districts (HDs). W…
Evaluation of the first malaria vaccine introduction: Ongoing learning opportunities during the introduction into routine immunisation in Cameroon
BACKGROUND: Cameroon is the first country to introduce malaria vaccine (MV) into routine immunisation, following the pilot programme. The vaccine was introduced in 42 health districts across all 10 regions, with plans to scale up in additional districts in future. A mini-postintroduction evaluation (mini-PIE) was conducted to rapidly review the MV programme, make improvements and inform future strategies. METHODS: A programme evaluation was condu…
Perceptions of a gender-neutral approach to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in Cameroon: A qualitative study
Cameroon’s Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) introduced the HPV vaccine into the routine immunization schedule in Cameroon in October 2020. However, coverage for this vaccine was just 20% by December 2022, prompting the government to adopt and implement a gender-neutral vaccination (GNV) from January 2023. The goal was to increase acceptance, reduce stigma, and improve vaccine coverage. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of key immun…
Association of gross domestic product with equitable access to childhood vaccines in 195 countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Overcoming challenges and achieving high HPV vaccination uptake in Cameroon: Lessons learned from a gender-neutral and single-dose program and community engagement
HPV vaccination in Cameroon has faced significant challenges. However, interventions such as adopting a gender-neutral, single-dose policy and implementing PIRI have greatly improved coverage across various levels of the health system since 2023
Setting up a data system for monitoring malaria vaccine introduction readiness and uptake in 42 health districts in Cameroon
Three months after the first shipment of RTS,S1/AS01 vaccines, Cameroon started, on 22 January 2024, to roll out malaria vaccines in 42 districts among the most at risk for malaria. Cameroon adopted and implemented the World Health Organization (WHO) malaria vaccine readiness assessment tool to monitor the implementation of preintroduction activities at the district and national levels. One week before the start of the vaccine rollout, overall re…
Development of a composite scoring system to rank communities at high risk of zero-dose children in Cameroon: A geospatial analysis
Background: Despite growing efforts to improve access to vaccination, millions of children, especially in developing countries, have not received a single dose of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine. Consequently, they are often called zero-dose children (ZDC). With limited health resources, prioritising communities for rapid and mass zero-dose catch-up vaccination in missed communities to avert epidemic outbreaks is complicated by u…
Impact of periodic intensification of routine immunization within an armed conflict setting and Covid-19 outbreak in Cameroon in 2020
PIRI was a practical approach to improving vaccination coverage and surveillance indicators in this region amidst the ongoing armed conflict and COVID-19 pandemic
The effect of the ongoing civil strife on key immunisation outcomes in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon
Our data demonstrates the marked negative impact of the ongoing civil strife on key immunisation outcomes in the two regions and the country at large. This decline could amplify the risk of vaccine preventable diseases vaccine preventable diseases outbreaks in the two regions. Besides the ongoing actions to contain the crises, effective strategies for reaching children in the conflict zones as well as the internally displaced population are neede…
