Description
Daniel Opinile Mark Igga and co-authors study vaccine dropout in South Sudan in this 2026 study. Many infants start their vaccine schedule but never finish it, a gap that weakens protection. In Maridi County, the team followed fourteen health facilities for three months in late 2023, half in areas with an active community health program and half without.
Three facilities had no monitoring chart at all, and over a quarter recorded dropout above ten percent. Facilities with current charts were far less likely to show high dropout. Community health workers, who rally families and trace those who miss visits, were present in most low-dropout facility months and few high-dropout ones. Over the study, the share of high-dropout facilities fell. The authors back both chart discipline and community tracing.
