Childhood vaccinations have long-established benefits in preventing illness, averting deaths, and reducing healthcare and other societal costs. The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant challenges in the delivery of childhood immunizations due to factors such as disruptions in healthcare services, decreased access to vaccinations, and increased exposure to misinformation and disinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines. The pandemic also exacerbated preexisting disparities in childhood immunization rates among different groups, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach that incorporates systems-level changes and strategic partnerships that support effective interventions at the clinical practice, individual, and family levels.

Join our webinar to learn strategies from the social and behavioral sciences to support routine childhood immunizations.
