Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A successful immunization system requires the coordination of multiple program components to provide people with the opportunity to be vaccinated. Specifically, this involves procuring vaccines, ensuring their successful delivery, and maintaining proper storage by the cold chain. Health workers must be trained in vaccine management, handling, administration, data recording, reporting, and interacting with vaccinees. It is vital to create community demand for immunization so that caregivers understand the value of vaccination and know when and where to bring their children and themselves for vaccination. The overall coordination, management, and implementation of these activities require political support, sustained financing, supervision, and the appropriate monitoring and use of high-quality data.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews that discuss global vaccination coverage. The articles can clarify the interrelationship between vaccination programs and policymaking at national, regional, and international levels, and they can include the historical aspects of vaccination programs and the actionable understanding of public health.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Vaccines.
