Vaccine vans and imams join forces to boost child immunization
NCT ID NCT06160999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two creative ways to increase childhood vaccination rates in Indonesia: sending mobile vaccine vans into neighborhoods and holding conferences with religious leaders. Over 2,400 adults participated in surveys about their children's vaccination status. The goal was to see if these community-based approaches could help more kids get their full set of recommended vaccines.
