Article Synopsis
- Immunizations are essential for improving community health and reducing diseases, but factors like socioeconomic status, geographic location, education, and gender create inequities in vaccine uptake, particularly in Madagascar.
- A systematic review analyzed sex-disaggregated vaccination data for children in Madagascar, searching multiple databases and including both peer-reviewed and gray literature, ultimately synthesizing data from four selected studies.
- The findings indicate that overall vaccination rates are similar between boys and girls, with some studies suggesting slightly higher rates for girls, while also identifying additional barriers to immunization such as socioeconomic status and maternal education.
