Vaccinations in low resource settings
Several prophylactic vaccines for example against COVID-19 or the human papilloma virus (HPV) are currently available. Nevertheless, the vaccination coverage in several African countries is still below an acceptable threshold with Madagascar being one of those with lowest coverage. The Fusco group wants to explore the barriers and facilitators of vaccine hesitancy in Madagascar and other African countries.
