Targeting Key Factors to Realizing Improved Global Vaccination Coverage

Project completed while employed as a Graduate Research Assistant with UW Population Health Initiative

Overview

Vaccination coverage rates are affected by multiple and varied societal and personal factors​. To better understand these factors at a global scale, the University of Washington Population Health Initiative led an interdisciplinary research team that undertook a study that ended in February 2023 to better understand how countries can realistically improve vaccination coverage, and how such improvement will affect the overall burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in that country.
