About

The purpose of this study is to understand why parents do or do not vaccinate their children and explore what information parents need to vaccinate their children. The study will test whether information about vaccinations provided during pregnancy by a health provider (VISTA intervention) may improve the possibility that a child is vaccinated on time.

The study will be implemented in 10 health facility catchment areas in Mtwara region, Tanzania. The study sites will be non-randomly assigned to receive VISTA or usual care.

Only core messages were developed and evaluated in this study. Tailored messages will be developed and evaluated in a follow-up study.
