Abstract
The peste des petits ruminants (PPR) vaccination programs often go beyond cited financial, technological, and logistical constraints. This paper examines the less-investigated factors across three countries. In particular it looks at the role of gender norms and other social and cultural factors that affect which livestock keepers are able or unable to access PPR vaccines and which groups are less reached by vaccine distribution systems. Overall, women derive fewer benefits from the system than men. Belonging to certain ethnic groups, being of low caste, or living in remote regions are additional markers of marginalization in terms of vaccination access.
