Abstract

This article provides a systematic review of 60 studies of evidence for improving routine vaccination programs in developing countries. Mass media campaigns may be effective, but the impact depends on access to media and may be costly if run at a local level. Interventions to increase demand for routine childhood vaccination have not been adequately investigated. Collateral-free credit to poor women may improve their autonomy and capacity to care for their families, including vaccination. However, attempts to maintain or increase deteriorating vaccination coverage almost all focus on supply side interventions: improving availability and delivery of vaccines.
