These options included
expanded immunization coverage for children (ranked fourth); heart attack acute management (11th); malaria prevention and treatment (12th); tuberculosis case finding and treatment (13th).
According to the WHO, this may be down to «declines in overall
routine immunization coverage, consistently low coverage among some marginalized groups, interruptions in vaccine supply or underperforming disease surveillance systems.»
Despite these challenges, there are solutions; immunizing healthcare workers, building an immunization database, and asking for proof
of immunization coverage at key stages in adult lives, like entry into to college or university, would all help adult immunization become a routine process.
Meanwhile, there is some evidence that high rates of child stunting (low height for age) can co-exist with relatively high values for positive indicators of child health, such
as immunization coverage [34].
These included:
increased immunization coverage, initiatives to reduce school dropout rates, community - based nutrition promotion, and micronutrient supplementation.
