Strategies, interventions, and uptake of catch-up vaccination among adolescent and adult migrants, refugees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs): A systematic review
Migrants remain at risk of under-immunisation, and greater emphasis must be placed on promotion of vaccination across the life-course for missed vaccines, doses, and boosters. Strengthening catch-up vaccination in adolescents and adults, and improving migration-disaggregated data and delivery systems, are urgently needed.
