ZD Learning Hub: Introduction of Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV) in Nepal: Role of the Vaccination Campaign in Identifying and Reaching Zero-Dose Children
The implementation of the typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in Nepal served as a platform to identify and target zero-dose children during the catch-up campaign associated with the vaccine's introduction. Drawn from key informant interviews with stakeholders across various health system levels, the Zero Dose Learning Hub shares a case study that elucidates Nepal's strategy in leveraging the introduction of a new vaccine to identify children lacking other routine vaccinations. The study not only details the approach taken but also offers valuable lessons learned, providing insights into the customization of immunization campaigns to effectively reach and address the needs of zero-dose children.
