Inequities in On-Time Childhood Vaccination: Evidence From Sub-Saharan Africa

Vaccination coverage has improved in the past decade, but inequalities persist: the poorest, least educated, and rural communities are left behind. Programming has focused on increasing coverage and reaching the hardest-to-reach children, but vaccination timeliness is equally important because delays leave children vulnerable to infections. This study examines the levels and inequities of on-time vaccination in the Sub-Saharan African region.
