dc.description.abstractDespite global efforts to improve on vaccine impact, many African countries have failed to achieve equitable vaccine benefits. Reduced vaccine impact may arise from interplay between structural, social, and biological factors, that hinder communities from achieving full benefits from vaccination programs. However, the combined influence of these factors to reduced vaccine impact and the spatial distribution of vulnerable communities remains poorly understood. In this work, we developed a Community Vaccine Impact Vulnerability Index (CVIVI) that integrates data on multiple risk factors associated with impaired vaccine impact. The index identifies communities are at risk of reduced vaccine impact, and key factors contributing to their vulnerability.
