Continue immunization programs during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent new outbreaks Africa (Abbas et al [17])
Pakistan (Chandir et al [26])
Italy (Bechini et al [27])
Implement more stringent sanitary measures such as use of individual protective equipment, physical distancing, and handwashing in all clinic facilities Africa (Abbas et al [17])
Italy (Bechini et al [27])
USA (Bramer et al [28])
Actively monitor vaccination rates in the country in order to identify children who have missed vaccination Sierra Leone (Buonsenso et al [15])
Italy ((Bechini et al [27])
USA (Bramer et al [28])
Pakistan (Chandir et al [26])
Japan (Shimizu et al [30])
Create catch-up vaccination campaigns Indonesia (Suwantika et al [16])
Italy ((Bechini et al [27])
Japan (Shimizu et al [30])
Create specific vaccination rooms so that healthy children can be separated from where sick patients are seen
Close down waiting room areas
Schedule appointments in advance
Brazil (Sato [31])
USA (Bramer et al [28])
Italy (Bechini et al [27])
Develop alternative vaccination modes, such as vaccination in vehicles or at home to target the most vulnerable population Brazil (Sato [31])
USA (Bramer et al [28])
Pakistan (Chandir et al [26])
Saudi Arabia (Alsuhaibani et al [32])

i.e: funding sources via sectors that the population trusts (for example religious leaders, health professionals) or increasing taxes on alcohol and tobacco
Indonesia (Suwantika et al [16])
Assemble an interdisciplinary team of researchers, policymakers and society members to solve this public health problem Brazil (Matos et al [29])
