Behavioural and social drivers of vaccination: tools and practical guidance for achieving high uptake

Download from the WHO Digital Library	The tools in this guide were developed, tested and validated through a rigorous, evidence-based process with support from a global working group. The outputs of this effort were presented to the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on immunization (SAGE) at its meeting in October 2021. In a subsequent report SAGE recognized the importance of measuring factors that contribute to low uptake and took note of the evidence-informed framework with four domains for measuring behavioural and social drivers (BeSD). SAGE recommended the systematic gathering and use of data on BeSD to assess the reasons for low uptake, for routine tracking of trends, and for monitoring and evaluation of interventions.
