First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study in Chad and Niger tests whether giving a small, nutrient-packed food supplement (SQ-LNS) to children aged 6 to 11 months can encourage families to complete routine vaccinations. Around 20,000 children will receive the supplement until they are 18 months old, and researchers will compare vaccination rates to areas without the program. The goal is to break the cycle of malnutrition and infectious disease by improving both nutrition and immunization coverage.
