Session 1: Urban immunization
08 Sep 2022 - 3pm CEST

Communities missed by immunisation in urban areas tend to be marginalized in slums and often lack access to any other basic services. Although overall routine coverage is higher in urban environments, this percentage masks the high number of zero-dose children that may reside in a city but are not undocumented or unregistered with the health system. This webinar will unpack some strategies used to reach underimmunized children in cities and discuss key challenges.
