Behavioural and social drivers of immunisation among zero dose children in pastoralist communities of Ethiopia: a qualitative study
The study found several individual and contextual factors affecting routine immunisation uptake in pastoralist communities. Context-specific and tailored interventions which address zero dose drivers should be designed so as to enhance vaccine uptake. The findings suggested the need to design context-specific interventions to address the aforementioned barriers to immunisation.
