Summary of Findings | Analysis of reported deficits of one published systematic review of school-based vaccination programmes in 2017 finds limitations in the search terms, the number and type of databases, and the screening methods used. Using a revised Ovid MEDLINE search strategy, the authors identified an additional 1016 records in that source alone, and highlighted relevant literature on the organization and delivery of school-based immunization program that was omitted as a result. |
