An evaluation of community perspectives and contributing factors to missed children during an oral polio vaccination campaign - Katsina State, Nigeria

Journal of Infectious Diseases, Volume 210, Year 2014

Background: Unvaccinated children contribute to accumulation of susceptible persons and the continued transmission of wild poliovirus in Nigeria. In September 2012, the Expert Review Committee (ERC) on Polio Eradication and Routine Immunization in Nigeria recommended that social research be conducted to better understand why children are missed during supplementary immunization activities (SIAs), also known as "immunization plus days (IPDs)" in Nigeria.
