ZDLH Webinar Recording Reflections on Identifying and Reaching Zero-Dose Children

Identifying and reaching zero-dose (ZD) children and missed communities remains one of the most complex challenges in the pursuit of global immunization equity. Reaching ZD children with life-saving vaccines requires clear and accurate data about who they are and where they live. Gavi's Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) hosted a 75-minute interactive webinar featuring immunization leaders from four Country Learning Hubs (CLHs) in Bangladesh, Mali, Nigeria, and Uganda. The four CLH representatives shared their experiences using innovative methods to identify and reach ZD children and missed communities.

Zero-dose (ZD) children is a critical objective in global health, and it is at the heart of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) strategy. Coverage for the first dose of diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis (DTP1)-containing vaccine is the global operational indicator used to estimate ZD children.
