DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11030647
Abstract: Background: Understanding past successes in reaching unvaccinated or “zero-dose” children can help inform strategies for improving childhood immunization in other settings. Drawing from positive outlier methods, we developed a novel approach for identifying potential exemplars… read more here.
