Innovative and sustainable solutions for reducing ‘zero-dose’ vaccination: How can the region respond?

Community-driven microplanning and enhanced political and financial support can bolster immunization efforts in fragile settings. The roundtable underscored the role of primary health systems in addressing vaccination gaps, contributing to universal health coverage, and fostering resilience in conflict-affected areas. Future policies should prioritize collaboration among sectors, sustainable funding, and innovative outreach to achieve immunization equity across the EMR.
