Summary

This study aims to optimize pediatric vaccine scheduling in China . The first objective is to gather information on current vaccine schedules in China. The second objective is to evaluate the impact of simultaneous vaccination and combination vaccines on costs and vaccination rates through feedback from caregivers and vaccination staff.

Detailed description

The first objective will comprehensively collect vaccination programs for children under 6 years old in all 31 provinces of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), covering both NIP and non-NIP vaccines that are suitable for children. The second objective is to evaluate the impact of simultaneous vaccination and combination vaccines on costs and vaccination rates. This will involve analyzing vaccination coverage for simultaneous vaccines across different regions in China, as well as assessing caregivers' perspectives on simultaneous vaccination, including their willingness, preferences, and factors influencing their vaccination decisions. Additionally, the study will explore vaccination staff attitudes, recommendation behaviors, and their reasons for recommending simultaneous and combination vaccines. For the survey, the sample will consist of caregivers of children (aged between 2 to 59 months) from 10 representative provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions as well as vaccination staff from institutions in the respective regions.
