Description
Zayar Lynn and Wai Wai Han study childhood vaccination in a Yangon slum area in a 2024 paper. Myanmar's vaccine reach is uneven, and slum districts face extra barriers. The pair surveyed 298 mothers of children aged eighteen to twenty-four months in Hlaingthayar Township, in a study carried out in July 2018.
Only about forty percent of the children were fully immunised. Coverage ran from about fifty-three percent for a second measles-rubella dose to eighty-two percent for a first polio dose. Full coverage was more likely when the mother had a university degree, a permanent home, and strong knowledge of vaccines. First-time mothers and mothers who viewed vaccines well also did better. The authors say these drivers can guide outreach in slum communities.
