Addressing community barriers to immunization in Rajanpur district, Pakistan: an implementation research

The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) of Punjab province faced an implementation challenge of the lowest immunization coverage in one of the districts, Rajanpur. In the Rajanpur district, low acceptance of immunization for poor communities of tribals, Kacha, and rural areas is unknown. Implementation research was carried out to explore the reasons for low acceptability for routine immunization, appropriateness, and relevance of social mobilization activities. To understand the low acceptability of immunization we used ‘exploratory qualitative inquiry’ to explore community perception of immunization services, appropriateness, and relevance of EPI social mobilization activities.
