| Resource | Behavioural and social drivers of vaccination Tools and practical guidance for achieving high uptake |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This guidebook supports the use of the tools on understanding and addressing behavioural and social drivers (BeSD) of vaccine uptake. It guides programmes, partners and researchers to understand the reasons for low uptake, using globally field tested and validated tools for childhood vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination. It helps to reduce coverage inequities by gathering and using data to systematically design, implement and evaluate tailored interventions. |
| Content | The guide includes tools and guidance for understanding behavioural and social drivers of vaccination, as well as guidance on how to gather, analyse and use the resuting data. Furthermore, this document includes recommendations on interventions to increase vaccine uptake, as well as suggestions for related monitoring and evaluation using BeSD indicators. |
| Expected outcomes | Programmes and partners will have local data (based on use of globally field-tested and validated tools) to guide planning, implemention and evaluation of tailored interventions. |
| Strengths | Tools and guidance have been developed through an intensive process of global field-field testing and validation. This tool is useful for assessing childhood vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination. |
| Contraints/Limitations | Further research is needed on effective interventions for specific settings, including the context-specific factors that contribute. |
| Why use it | This guidance should be used to better understand reasons for low uptake, and to gather related local quantitative and qualitative data. The findings may offer added insights to improve access, availability, and affordability of services, as well as to increase uptake in areas with high dropouts or low coverage. |
| Who should use it | It is intended for immunization programme managers, research advisors and others who are collecting, analysing and using data for immunization programme planning and evaluation. |
