By Phorm NMN, Aung HH and Zangre A.
Abstract
Background
Zero-dose children, operationalised as children who have not received the first dose of a diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis-containing vaccine (DTP1), signal failure of initial contact with routine immunisation services. We estimated zero-dose prevalence and examined associated inequalities among children aged 12–23 months in Lao PDR.
