“…Results from pooled, nationally representative surveys covering 1998–2008 evidenced that lack of access to immunisation facilities, along with absence of healthcare workers, and ignorance of the place and timing for getting vaccination were among the reasons for delayed or missed vaccination [ 38 ]. Strong reductions of urban versus rural disparities in full vaccination rates from 2008 to 2013 are however noteworthy [ 39 ]. This is possibly due to the activation of primary health centres, subcentres and community health workers (Anganwadi workers) in rural areas [ 40 ].…”

Vaccine Hesitancy as a Challenge or Vaccine Confidence as an Opportunity for Childhood Immunisation in India

Vaccines have contributed substantially to decreasing the morbidity and mortality rates of many infectious diseases worldwide. Despite this achievement, an increasing number of parents have adopted hesitant behaviours towards vaccines, delaying or even refusing their administration to children. This has implications not only on individuals but also society in the form of outbreaks for e.g. measles, chicken pox, hepatitis A, etc. A review of the literature was conducted to identify the determinants of vaccine hesitancy (VH) as well as vaccine confidence and link them to challenges and opportunities associated with vaccination in India, safety concerns, doubts about the need for vaccines against uncommon diseases and suspicions towards new vaccines were identified as major vaccine-specific factors of VH. Lack of awareness and limited access to vaccination sites were often reported by hesitant parents. Lastly, socio-economic level, educational level and cultural specificities were contextual factors of VH in India. Controversies and rumours around some vaccines (e.g., human papillomavirus) have profoundly impacted the perception of the risks and benefits of vaccination. Challenges posed by traditions and cultural behaviours, geographical specificities, socio-demographic disparities, the healthcare system and vaccine-specific features are highlighted, and opportunities to improve confidence are identified. To overcome VH and promote vaccination, emphasis should be on improving communication, educating the new generation and creating awareness among the society. Tailoring immunisation programmes as per the needs of specific geographical areas or communities is also important to improve vaccine confidence. Fig. 1 Plain language summary

“…We selected 15 potential indicators that were available in both DHS and MICS surveys, that have been previously used for zero-dose investigation in the literature [5,10,11] and that can provide useful information for targeting and tailoring vaccination interventions.…”

Finding Children with High Risk of Non-Vaccination in 92 Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Decision Tree Approach

2021

Reducing vaccination inequalities is a key goal of the Immunization Agenda 2030. Our main objective was to identify high-risk groups of children who received no vaccines (zero-dose children). A decision tree approach was used for 92 low- and middle-income countries using data from Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, allowing the identification of groups of children aged 12–23 months at high risk of being zero dose (no doses of the four basic vaccines—BCG, polio, DPT and measles). Three high-risk groups were identified in the analysis combining all countries. The group with the highest zero-dose prevalence (42%) included 4% of all children, but almost one in every four zero-dose children in the sample. It included children whose mothers did not receive the tetanus vaccine during and before the pregnancy, who had no antenatal care visits and who did not deliver in a health facility. Separate analyses by country presented similar results. Children who have been missed by vaccination services were also left out by other primary health care interventions, especially those related to antenatal and delivery care. There is an opportunity for better integration among services in order to achieve high and equitable immunization coverage.

“…Kontribusi tenaga kesehatan seperti dokter dan perawat juga meningkatkan cakupan imunisasi lengkap (Mukherjee et al, 2015). Dampak lain adanya dukungan petugas kesehatan adalah dapat meningkatkan keterampilan petugas kesehatan itu sendiri dalam memberikan pendidikan kesehatan terutama perawatan antenatal mengenai cakupan imunisasi (Shenton et al, 2017). Dukungan petugas kesehatan juga meningkatkan kepuasan pengguna terhadap pelayanan dan prosedural (birokrasi) kesehatan untuk mendapatkan imunisasi, dan meningkatkan pengetahuan kebutuhan imunisasi oleh masyarakat (Sharma, Singh, & Sharma, 2015).…”

“…Petugas kesehatan berperan terhadap kualitas data dan sistem informasi untuk pelayanan rawat jalan, berfokus pada teknis (alat pengumpulan data dan sistem pelaporan) program cakupan imunisasi (Mavimbe, Braa, & Bjune, 2005). Kehadiran petugas kesehatan yang terampil memiliki peluang lebih tinggi memberikan pendidikan kesehatan dengan maksimal melalui perawatan antenatal meliputi imunisasi (Shenton et al, 2018).…”

The contribution or support of health workers towards the strengthening of immunization services still needs to be improved. The potential of health workers to improve the strategy and coverage of immunization needs to be developed. The coverage of routine immunizations associated with health care systems, healthcare providers, and parent-related services remains a barrier to improving the quality of immunization coverage. The search strategy for English studies relevant to the topic is done using ScienceDirect, SagePub, Springer database is limited from 2005 to 2018. Keywords used are “health workers support”, “immunization coverage”, “vaccination”. Full text articles are reviewed to select studies that match the criteria. The inclusion criteria in this review are health workers including nurses, doctors, community health workers. The search yielded 17 articles that fit the inclusion criteria. Improving the quality of immunization coverage by increasing the support of health workers as a strategy in health services. Finding the determinants that can improve immunization coverage, know the level of community satisfaction, and ensure various health care strategies
