This webinar is the second session in the series on Reaching Zero-Dose Children.
The Zero-Dose Child Webinar series will build understanding of how to reach key populations which are missed by immunisation and other basic health services including communities residing in poor urban areas (informal settlements), those affected by conflict and displacement and residents of remote-rural areas. A final webinar will unpack challenges in health workforce in reaching missed communities with basic health services. The webinars will share specific country experiences on the latest learning and best practices for bringing services to the hard-to-reach. This webinar series is a joint initiative between Technet, the Zero-Dose Community of Practice and the Immunization Agenda 2030 working group on coverage and equity.
Session 2: Immunization in fragile/conflict affected settings 15 Sep 2022 - 3pm CEST
Children living in regions affected by conflict and insecurity are more likely to be zero-dose due to interruption in health systems, weak government capacity, and migration. Countries affected by conflict have struggled with missed communities being particularly vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases like measles and diphtheria. This webinar will unpack challenges and share innovative solutions to vaccinating in conflict.
