Bridging immunization gaps
Zambia’s 2024 Measles-Rubella Supplementary Immunization Activity (SIA), conducted from 23 to 28 September across all 116 districts, targeted children aged 9–59 months to address immunization gaps exacerbated by COVID-19 disruptions and responding to ongoing measles outbreaks. This community case study evaluates the effectiveness of microplanning, the feasibility of real-time digital monitoring, and the equity of reaching zero-dose children durin…
A feasibility study
Routine collection of behavioral and social drivers (BeSD) of vaccination data is essential for understanding and addressing vaccine confidence and demand to achieve high vaccination coverage. Traditional house-to-house data collection methods are resource-intensive, prompting the need for alternative, scalable approaches. This study tested the feasibility of using mobile phone surveys to collect community-level BeSD data on COVID-19 vaccination …
Profiling zero-dose measles-rubella children in Zambia
Measles & Rubella (MR) zero-dose children (unvaccinated for measles–rubella) cluster in underserved communities can sustain measles transmission. We estimated MR zero-dose prevalence after Zambia’s 2024 MR Supplementary Immunisation Activity (SIA) and identified associated risk factors and barriers. A coverage survey (two-stage stratified cluster design) across all 10 provinces, was conducted from 27 th December 2024–16 th January 2025, involved …
