| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The primary objective of this project is to understand and examine the puzzle behind lower vaccination use considering India as a case study that (1) contributes to the largest pools of under-vaccinated children in the world, (2) accounts for one-third of the annual vaccine-preventable child deaths globally, and (3) among one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world.
I have published two working papers on this project. They are under review for publication in peer review Journals. Additionally, I am currently analyzing Archival dataset from India to write another paper under this project. Finally, I have presented my findings at numerous international and domestic conferences.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I have written two papers on this project. I have published them as working papers. They are currently under review for publication in peer review Journals. Additionally, I am currently analyzing Archival dataset from India to write another paper under this project.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I am planning to collect additional historical and survey dataset from India to accomplish my current research project. Additionally, I am planning to present my findings in International and domestic conferences. In the future, I will extend this project to other fields.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The current research aims to combine historical data from national archives and household data from national representative surveys. I could not be able to visit the National Archive in India to collect the historical dataset last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the next fiscal year, I aim to visit the Indian National Archive to collect the historical data for this project. In addition, I want to hire research assistant to digitize the historical dataset. Therefore, I need the necessary funds next fiscal year.
