New research results published today!
Available at:(http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-698X/9?issue=S1).
This is to announce the publication today of a journal supplement titled The
Fallacy of coverage: uncovering disparities and improving immunization
coverage - The Canadian International Immunization Initiative Phase 2 (CIII2).
The supplement, which contains 13 research articles, one introduction and one
opinion piece, is being published by BioMed Central's Journal of International
Health and Human Rights.
The articles present the results of a multi-country research project and explain
why some children in developing countries are not receiving vaccines. The
research also shows how targeted, low-cost interventions can increase
vaccination rates, at times doubling or tripling the odds of children being
vaccinated.
This five-year research initiative was launched in September 2003, as part of a
larger program funded by the Canadian International Development Agency and
as part of the Global Health Research Initiative. Six research teams covering
12 countries were selected for funding, and the International Development
Research Centre (IDRC) provided the technical oversight and administered the
grants.
