Abstract
Approximately 60% of children in Afghanistan are under-vaccinated or non-vaccinated, leaving millions of children unnecessarily at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. Engagement with community and religious leaders to create programs that increase women's autonomy and expand access to institutional delivery could lead to downstream increases in childhood vaccination coverage.
