Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the barriers and enablers of measles immunisation coverage from the perspective of healthcare providers in Saskatchewan, Canada, highlighting social and cultural challenges.
- It found a significant increase in measles immunisation coverage from 56.32% to 73.21% between 2002 and 2013, but revealed persistent inequalities, with affluent groups showing higher coverage rates than those from deprived backgrounds.
- Barriers identified include caregiver hesitancy and access issues, while solutions proposed involve enhancing community engagement, flexible service delivery, targeted social responses, and a greater role for media in promoting immunisation.
