COVID-19 related disruption and resilience in immunisation activities in LMICs: a rapid review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We conducted a rapid review to determine the extent that immunisation services in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and synthesised the factors that can be used to build resilience in future.

Design

Rapid review reported in accordance with the Preferred reporting for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Data sources

PubMed and Web of Science were searched through 6 October 2023.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies
