Interventions to increase immunisation coverage among children 12-23 months of age in India through participatory learning and community mobilisation: cluster randomised trial
EF 2014-15
Résumé
Vaccines are major contributors to global progress towards the UN Millennium Development Goal to reduce under-5 mortality. Canada is spearheading a global commitment to improve maternal, neonatal and child health in developing countries and has invested about $520 million to increase access to vaccines through the GAVI Alliance. To realize their potential, antigens must reach all children; yet, one in five children worldwide still does not have access to basic vaccines. India accounts for the largest share among all countries (30%) of the world's 22.6 million under-vaccinated children. This study aims is to evaluate the impact, cost-effectiveness, scalability and sustainability of participatory, community-based knowledge translation and education interventions to improve coverage of basic vaccines among children less than 24 months of age from disadvantaged communities in India.

Abstract
Vaccines are major contributors to global progress towards the UN Millennium Development Goal to reduce under-5 mortality. Canada is spearheading a global commitment to improve maternal, neonatal and child health in developing countries and has invested about $520 million to increase access to vaccines through the GAVI Alliance. To realize their potential, antigens must reach all children; yet, one in five children worldwide still does not have access to basic vaccines. India accounts for the largest share among all countries (30%) of the world's 22.6 million under-vaccinated children. This study aims is to evaluate the impact, cost-effectiveness, scalability and sustainability of participatory, community-based knowledge translation and education interventions to improve coverage of basic vaccines among children less than 24 months of age from disadvantaged communities in India.
