文摘

We measured inequalities in child vaccination coverage in 45 low- and middle-income countries. We explored how different measurement approaches may affect estimates and country comparisons. Wealth, education and multidimensional poverty revealed the largest inequalities. The slope and relative indices of inequality produced more reliable country comparisons. Our findings have helped Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance refine its equity monitoring strategy.
