Educational determinants of immunization coverage among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mogadishu: a cross-sectional study

Educational disparities emerge as the most critical barrier to immunization among Somali IDPs. The findings highlight the need for integrated interventions prioritizing community-led education programs and mobile vaccination clinics with cold chain capacity. These strategies, combined with health system strengthening for mobile populations, could reduce zero-dose children by 50% and advance Immunization Agenda 2030 targets. The study underscores that improving access to education may have greater impact on vaccine uptake than economic interventions alone.

Abstract

Educational disparities emerge as the most critical barrier to immunization among Somali IDPs. The findings highlight the need for integrated interventions prioritizing community-led education programs and mobile vaccination clinics with cold chain capacity. These strategies, combined with health system strengthening for mobile populations, could reduce zero-dose children by 50% and advance Immunization Agenda 2030 targets. The study underscores that improving access to education may have greater impact on vaccine uptake than economic interventions alone.
