PLOS ONE. 17. e0269606. 10.1371/journal.pone.0269606.
  • Introduction:
    • "Few studies have described the drivers of vaccine hesitancy and acceptance in India from the perspective of those involved in the design and implementation of vaccine campaigns–such as government officials and civil society stakeholders–a prerequisite to developing approaches to address this barrier to high immunization coverage and further child health improvements."
• Social media strategies to affect vaccine acceptance: a systematic literature review

Social media strategies to affect vaccine acceptance: a systematic literature review. Expert Review of Vaccines. 20. 1-15. 10.1080/14760584.2021.1949292.
  • Introduction:
    • "Vaccine hesitancy, defined as a delay in the acceptance or the refusal of vaccines despite their availability, is a growing global threat. More individuals are turning to social media for health information, including vaccine information. As such, there is an opportunity to leverage online platforms as a means to disseminate and persuade individuals toward vaccine acceptance. We sought to review literature focused on the influence of exposure to social media content on vaccine acceptance or hesitancy."

  • Objective:
    • "We characterize public values regarding vaccinomics, which aims to improve vaccine safety and effectiveness using genomics."
• Development of a Scale to Measure Trust in Public Health Authorities: Prevalence of Trust and Association with Vaccination

  • "Infectious disease outbreaks highlight the importance of trust in public health authorities to avoid fear and improve adherence to recommendations. There is currently no established and validated measure for trust in public health authorities. We aimed to develop and validate an instrument that measures trust in public health authorities and to assess the association between trust in public health authorities and vaccine attitudes. We developed 20 items to measure trust in public health authorities. After implementing a survey in January 2020, we investigated relationships between the items, reduced the number of items, and identified latent constructs of the scale. We assessed variability in trust and how trust was associated with vaccine attitudes, beliefs, and self-reported vaccine acceptance. The pool was reduced to a 14-item trust in public health authorities scale and we found that this trust model was strongly associated with acceptance of vaccines. Our scale can be used to examine the relationship between trust in public health authorities and adherence to public health recommendations. The measure needs to be validated in other settings to determine whether they are associated with other areas where the public question public health authority recommendations."
• Change in full immunization inequalities in Indian children 12–23 months: an analysis of household survey data

Change in full immunization inequalities in Indian children 12–23 months: an analysis of household survey data. BMC Public Health. 21. 10.1186/s12889-021-10849-y.
  • Background:
    • "India has made substantial progress in improving child health in recent years. However, the country continues to account for a large number of vaccine preventable child deaths. We estimated wealth-related full immunization inequalities in India. We also calculated the degree to which predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors contribute to these inequalities."
• Characterizing mothers and children at risk of being under-immunized in India: A latent class analysis approach

Characterizing mothers and children at risk of being under-immunized in India: A latent class analysis approach. International Journal of Infectious Diseases. 100. 10.1016/j.ijid.2020.08.056.
  • Objectives:
    • "While India has made substantial progress in introducing new vaccines and scaling up immunization coverage, inequities persist sub-nationally. We investigated the risk of under-immunization based on class membership and identified heterogeneous classes based on sociodemographic characteristics in pediatric and maternal populations in India through latent class analysis"
