Developing District-Level Forecasts of Vaccine Coverage and Inferring Vaccine Confidence Across India Using Large Public Health Datasets

The study aims to explore regional trends and variations in vaccine uptake, uncover relationships to other socioeconomic, demographic, and public health indicators, and develop a predictive model of the state of vaccine confidence in different parts of India. This will infer local-level confidence in vaccines by identifying areas with good access to healthcare infrastructure. The main goal of the proposal to develop a prototype coverage monitoring and forecasting system across districts by using Gaussian process methods.
