Designing for Immunization: A Co-design Thinking Approach to
Improving Catch-up Vaccination among South Sudanese Refugees in Uganda (TUKU-VAC Study)
REFNo: HS7289ES
This project aims to explore the drivers of catch-up vaccination uptake among South Sudanese refugees in Uganda and to co-design community-led solutions using a participatory, design thinking research approach. Refugees often face significant challenges in accessing vaccinations, including limited healthcare access, vaccine hesitancy, misinformation, and systemic barriers. This study seeks to gain a deeper understanding of these issues and develop culturally appropriate, sustainable strategies to improve uptake of essential catch-up vaccines. The study will utilise an adapted version of the World Health Organization’s Behavioural and Social Drivers (BeSD) of vaccination framework to examine the key social behavioural factors influencing vaccine uptake among migrants and refugees’ population. This framework considers four key domains: individuals’ cognitive and emotional responses to vaccine-preventable diseases and vaccines, the influence of social norms and recommendations, the level of motivation and willingness to be vaccinated, and the practical barriers individuals encounter when attempting to access vaccination services. In parallel, a complementary healthcare provider survey adapted from a CDC-developed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey on catch-up vaccination, previously implemented in a national study in the United States will be used to assess the knowledge, practices, and system-level barriers affecting the delivery of catch-up vaccination services to refugees. This tool covers four core domains: demographic and professional characteristics; knowledge and awareness of catch-up vaccination; service delivery practices; and perceived enablers and barriers to vaccine provision. The research will be conducted in collaboration with refugee communities and healthcare providers to ensure that interventions are locally relevant, practical, and effective. Through qualitative interviews and participatory co-design workshops, refugees and healthcare providers will collectively identify challenges and develop solutions that align with their needs and lived experiences.
