The problem
Intervention: No specific intervention tested; this is a descriptive study of pandemic impacts and barriers to immunisation
Who it was tested with: 51 parents/caregivers of children under five who missed or delayed immunisation doses in 2020-2022, and 12 public healthcare providers in South Africa.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"We conducted qualitative research using in-depth interviews with 51 purposively selected parents/caregivers of children below the age of five who missed or delayed one or more scheduled immunisation doses in 2020-2022 and with 12 healthcare providers who provided public immunisation services during the pandemic." This is a descriptive qualitative study documenting barriers and caregiver perceptions during a disruption rather than testing an intervention, so it provides practitioner-level evidence about the problem rather than evidence about effectiveness of a solution.
Qualitative design with no comparison group or quantitative outcome measures; data from interviews with those who missed doses may not represent overall immunisation coverage changes; no baseline immunisation rates provided for comparison.
