Reaching Zero-Dose Children: Urban immunization - POSTPONED: NEW DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

This webinar is the first session in the series on Reaching Zero-Dose Children.

The Zero-Dose Children Webinar series will build understanding of how to reach key populations which are missed by immunisation and other basic health services including communities residing in poor urban areas (informal settlements), those affected by conflict and displacement and residents of remote-rural areas. A final webinar will unpack challenges in health workforce in reaching missed communities with basic health services. The webinars will share specific country experiences on the latest learning and best practices for bringing services to the hard-to-reach. This webinar series is a joint initiative between Technet, the Zero-Dose Community of Practice and the Immunization Agenda 2030 working group on coverage and equity.

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.
