Dr. El Ayadi and Mr. Barry of the African Center of Excellence for the Prevention and Control of Transmissible Diseases at the University of Conakry, Guinea are leading research to understanding the challenges and coping mechanisms for achieving routine childhood vaccine uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic in Guinea. Through key community and health-systems engagement, the research will identify locally adapted strategies and targets to inform mitigation of future epidemics or other system shocks from reducing childhood vaccination and contribution to childhood morbidity. Ultimately, these findings will inform West African regional pandemic preparedness strategies.
