This grant aims to comprehensively understand why vaccination coverage varies significantly between young children living below and above the poverty line. It seeks insights directly from parents and guardians regarding the various factors that create these disparities. Key areas of investigation include challenges in accessing quality vaccination services, potential lower service quality received, barriers related to Medicaid policies, parental knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about vaccinations, and the impact of competing family priorities. The findings from this assessment are crucial to inform targeted strategies designed to reduce these critical health inequities and improve vaccination rates for vulnerable populations.
