Cofinancing immunization through national health insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable immunization financing is a global health issue of utmost concern that requires serious political attention and commitment from all countries. A Lancet correspondence suggested that countries can further enhance their fiscal space for immunization by using innovative co-financing mechanisms. A feasible opportunity that should be urgently explored is national health insurance, a health financing option many countries adopt to drive progress toward universal health coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of tetanus toxoid injections before birth and associated factors among pregnant women in low and middle-income countries: Negative binomial poisson regression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study used data from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys, which covered 60 low- and middle-income countries from 2010 to 2022, to assess the number of tetanus toxoid injections and associated factors among pregnant women. Results showed that the number of tetanus toxoid vaccinations among pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries is low. The frequency of tetanus vaccinations is significantly associated with maternal employment, educational status, wealth index, antenatal care visits, birth order, distance from a health facility, and health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comprehensive narrative review of challenges and facilitators in the implementation of various HPV vaccination programs worldwide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrative review highlights the existing HPV vaccination strategies, unmet needs, and challenges that need to be addressed for a proper implementation framework, as well as the collaborations required to achieve decent vaccination coverage. A well-coordinated vaccination strategy focusing on adolescent girls and, if possible, boys can have a dramatic impact on disease reduction around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Socioeconomic and fiscal returns of expanded investment in immunization: a case for life-course vaccination in Colombia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study developed a cost-benefit model from a societal perspective to evaluate the inclusion of 5 vaccines across the life course in Colombia’s national immunization program. This model estimated a return of US$1.3 per US$1.0 invested in the first 2 decades, increasing to US$3.9 after 60 years. There is a potential to reduce Colombia’s income inequality and poverty rate by increasing access to immunization for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
