Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the development of new vaccination strategies communicating with those who are to receive the vaccine is crucial. Telling the public about vaccines, why they are needed and by whom can encourage uptake. For some groups, pregnant and lactating women for example, there may be a particular need for customised information that is sensitive to the women and their families concerns about the effect of the vaccine on the child. `Women’ are not a homogenous group, it is therefore, important that vaccine strategies acknowledge difference, and tailor approaches to different places and context. The aim of this issue is to collect contributions on vaccine strategies to reach women of different ages, ethnicities, socio-economic status and religious beliefs. We aim to provide evidence to contribute to the tailoring of existing strategies to meet women’s needs and the development of future vaccine strategies.
We welcome papers about vaccine strategies, particularly in lower and middle income countries, for:
- Girls and young women
- Pregnant and lactating women
- Older women
- Women from different socioeconomic/ethnic groups
- COVID-19 vaccination strategies and women
- Women living with a disability
