 Pregnancy to Protection: Enhancing Vaccine Confidence for Lifelong Family Health
REFNo: HS6734ES

1. Identify factors that influence vaccine confidence among pregnant women and mothers to enhance immunization uptake at the family level, creating a positive ripple effect across the lifespan. 2. Identify opportunities for and barriers to expanding maternal vaccination coverage through evidence-based community focused approaches. For objective two we will utilize qualitative methods to understand key stakeholder level perspectives on overcoming barriers related to the 3c’s and the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness (implementation outcomes, operationalized as defined by proctor et al. (60)) of mass education and vaccination campaigns that reach pregnant women outside of ANC facilities to expand vaccine access and catalyze uptake within the family unit. We will also explore how other routine immunization delivery across the lifespan can be similarly optimized. Key informant participants will be identified through existing relationships with the MOH (in the case of policy level stakeholders) and community leaders (in the case of traditional birth attendants and village health team members).
