More than half of the world's unvaccinated children reside in countries characterized by fragility, conflict, and vulnerability. Despite the well-documented challenges that contribute to low immunization rates in this population, precise data on immunization coverage remains largely unknown. This workshop aims to describe the various barriers and facilitators to vaccination experienced by unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, as well as targeted public health strategies to begin to address this crisis.
