Recent research and public health initiatives have highlighted the effectiveness of 'last mile' solutions in increasing vaccination coverage in poor and remote areas. Studies in Sierra Leone and rural communities have shown that innovative approaches like mobile clinics and drone deliveries can significantly boost vaccine uptake, especially in geographically isolated regions with limited access to healthcare services. Collaborations between organizations such as GAVI, Zipline, and local authorities have played a crucial role in improving health equity and access to essential vaccines, benefiting children, families, and communities.
