Our work with
UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)

Our research aims to reverse the decline in immunisation coverage in children, increase vaccine uptake in adults and reduce inequalities in the vaccine service.

Project AViD took a critical anthropological approach to exploring what actions can be taken to optimise vaccine acceptance during a disease outbreak.

Many newer vaccines are not centrally funded in China, and therefore people pay for them out-of-pocket. China is investigating whether to increase the range of vaccines that are fully funded by the central government.
