Estimating prevalence and identifying predictors of zero-dose pentavalent and never-immunized children under two years of age in Kashmore and Sujawal Districts of Sindh, Pakistan: An analysis of household survey data.

Introduction: Despite intensified global efforts to enhance immunization coverage, one in five children continue to miss out on life-saving vaccines, leaving them vulnerable to a range of vaccine-preventable diseases. In 2022, 14.3 million children failed to receive even a single dose of the pentavalent vaccine (Penta-1) by their first birthday, classified as "zero-dose penta".

Coverage, timeliness of measles immunisation and its predictors in Pakistan: an analysis of 6.2 million children enrolled in the Provincial Electronic Immunisation Registry.

Background: Measles-related morbidity and mortality persists due to suboptimal and delayed vaccination, predominantly in low- and middle-income countries where more than 95% of global measles deaths occur. We evaluated the coverage, timeliness of measles vaccination and its predictors for children aged 12-23 months in Sindh, Pakistan.
