The future impact of zero-dose children in inaccessible conflict-affected areas of Somalia: aligned with the immunization agenda 2030
Zero-dose children in inaccessible Somali districts are a pressing equity and health-security challenge. Sustaining recent national gains while fulfilling Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030)'s "leave no one behind" requires tailored outreach to remote communities, strengthened surveillance and e-registries for defaulter tracing, resilient cold-chain and WASH linkages, empowered community health workers (especially women), negotiated humanitarian access, and a progressive domestic co-financing roadmap alongside partner support.
