Abstract:
Immunization is a critical public health intervention that has significantly contributed to the reduction of morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. However, Africa continues to face numerous challenges in achieving universal immunization coverage. This is partly attributed to lack of awareness leading to low uptake of immunization services in rural communities. This publication aims to explore the key in vaccine uptake end obstacles hindering successful immunization programs in Africa, including limited access to vaccines, weak healthcare systems, vaccine hesitancy, and inadequate funding. With data obtained in the period of study various aspects that could have contributed to low coverage are highlighted. Additionally, it highlights potential strategies and interventions to overcome these challenges and ensure equitable access to life-saving vaccines for all African populations.
