This PubMed record documents a scoping review titled "Geospatial approaches for mapping zero-dose prevalence and routine childhood immunisation coverage in low- and lower-middle-income countries." The article is published in the journal Vaccine (2026 Aug 30:89:128904) with DOI 10.1016/j.vaccine.2026.128904 and an electronic publication date of 2026 Jul 13. The title signals a focus on geospatial methodologies applied to measure zero-dose prevalence and routine childhood immunisation coverage in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
The supplied PubMed excerpt contains bibliographic metadata and author and collaborator listings. The PubMed entry provides links to full text options on the publisher site. However, the excerpt available here does not include the article abstract, methods, results, or conclusions.
The PubMed entry lists a large multi-institutional author group led by Ann M Njogu and including Moses M Musau, Swati Srivastava, Francesco Menegale, Emma Clarke, Caroline Mudereri, Felix R Kitema, Yvonne Opanga, Arnold Mmbando, Absolomon Gashaija, Hassan Sibomana, Jeanine Condo, Frank Osei, Lenka Beňová, Justine I Blanford, Piero Poletti, Aleksandra Torbica, Alessia Melegaro, Carlo Federici, Peter M Macharia, and others.
The record explicitly names the REACHOUT Consortium as a collaborator and lists many consortium members. Institutional affiliations span European and African research centres and universities, including the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), Antwerp; Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente; Heidelberg Institute of Global Health; Fondazione Bruno Kessler; Swiss Tropical & Public Health Institute; CIICHIN (Rwanda); Amref Health Africa; Rwanda Biomedical Center; Kenya Medical Research Institute-Wellcome Trust Research Programme; and Bocconi University, among others.
Per the title and PubMed metadata, the review addresses the application of geospatial approaches to map two related immunisation metrics: zero-dose prevalence (children who have not received any routine vaccinations) and coverage of routine childhood immunisation. The geographic emphasis is on low- and lower-middle-income countries. Beyond this framing, the provided PubMed excerpt does not report the review’s inclusion criteria, types of geospatial methods reviewed (for example, mapping, spatial modelling, small-area estimation, remote sensing, or population gridding), the countries or datasets analysed, or any synthesized findings.
The PubMed entry includes standard navigation and full text links to publisher options. The bibliographic page lists the full author and collaborator roster and institutional affiliations but, in the excerpt supplied here, the abstract content and other detailed article sections are not shown.

Because those substantive components are not included in the supplied source text, they cannot be summarised here or paraphrased without accessing the full article.
The PubMed page links to full-text options via the publisher (Elsevier Science) and provides the DOI for direct retrieval. Clinicians, public health practitioners, and researchers seeking the review’s detailed content—such as evaluated geospatial methods, data sources (household surveys, administrative records, satellite-derived population layers), findings on spatial heterogeneity of immunisation coverage, and practical guidance for mapping zero-dose populations—should obtain the full text through institutional access, the publisher’s site, or interlibrary services.
