Detailed description

Over time, there have been adequate vaccines in Uganda, but deployment challenges and vaccine hesitancy have affected rates of vaccination. The study included a desk review and key informant interviews and aimed to:

  • Distil the challenges, opportunities, and best practices that arise from the collaboration between the public and the private sector on vaccine deployment in relation to the governance behaviours
  • Share country experiences on the collaboration between the public and private sectors for vaccine deployment
