There is still a substantial knowledge gap on how gender mediates child health in general, and child immunisation outcomes in particular. Similarly, implementation of interventions to mitigate gender inequities that hinder children from being vaccinated requires additional perspectives and research. We adopt an intersectional approach to gender and delve into the social ecology of implementation, to show how gender inequities and their connection with immunisation are grounded in the interplay between individual, household, community and system factors. We show how an ecological model can be used as an overarching framework to support more precise identification of the mechanisms causing gender inequity and their structural complexity, to identify suitable change agents and interventions that target the underlying causes of marginalisation, and to ensure outcomes are relevant within specific population groups.

Bado kuna pengo kubwa la maarifa juu ya jinsi jinsia inavyoingilia afya ya watoto kwa ujumla, na matokeo ya chanjo ya watoto haswa. Vivyo hivyo, utekelezaji wa hatua za kupunguza ukosefu wa usawa wa kijinsia ambao huzuia watoto kupata chanjo inahitaji mtazamo wa ziada na utafiti. "Tunachukua mbinu ya ""intersectional"" kwa jinsia na kuchunguza ekolojia ya kijamii ya utekelezaji, kuonyesha jinsi ukosefu wa usawa wa kijinsia na uhusiano wao na chanjo ni msingi katika mwingiliano kati ya mtu binafsi, kaya, jamii na mfumo wa mambo." "Tunaonyesha jinsi mfano wa ikolojia unaweza kutumika kama mfumo wa jumla kusaidia utambulisho sahihi zaidi wa taratibu zinazosababisha ukosefu wa usawa wa kijinsia na utata wao wa muundo, kutambua wawakilishi wa mabadiliko na uingiliaji unaofaa ambao unalenga sababu za msingi za kutengwa, na kuhakikisha matokeo yanafaa ndani ya vikundi maalum vya idadi ya watu.
