Highlights One out of two children missed routine immunizations during COVID-19 lockdown in Sindh. COVID-19 lockdown disproportionately affected coverage rates across the districts. Drop in the number of immunizations was higher in rural areas followed by urban slums. Expanding pool of un-immunized children is bringing down herd immunity and raising the risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.

Background-Demand-side strategies could contribute to achieving high and timely vaccine coverage in rural Africa, but require platforms to deliver either messages or conditional cash transfers (CCTs). We studied the feasibility of using short message system (SMS) reminders and mobile phone-based CCTs to reach parents in rural western Kenya.

Background: We conducted an assessment of knowledge about blood borne pathogens (BBP) and use of universal precautions at first level care facilities (FLCF) in two districts of Pakistan.
