Apply for Vacancy for Data Analyst at Johns Hopkins University in the USA. The deadline for this job is 31st August 2021.

Description:

The World Health Organization, Gavi and UNICEF have placed equity at the forefront of their immunization agendas, with “zero-dose” children – those who have not had a single contact with the health system resulting in immunization – as a key priority. Also, these children and their communities are not only potential epicenters for disease outbreaks, they are also often deprived of other basic services and suffer from entrenched inequalities. Global immunization partners have set a goal to reduce the number of zero-dose children by 25% by 2025 and by 50% by 2030. As part of MCGL, IVAC will contribute to these efforts by expanding the evidence base, helping to define where zero-dose children reside, who they are, and why they are missed by routine immunization and primary healthcare systems. Ultimately, these findings will contribute to more effective and efficient programs and strategies.
