| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The primary purpose of this project is to understand and examine the puzzle behind lower vaccination use considering India as a case study which (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.
Previously, I have published three working papers out of this project. They are currently under review for publication in peer-reviewed journals. In fiscal year 2023, I presented my research at 2 International conferences and 2 domestic seminars. Currently, I am writing the fourth paper to be submitted for publication in peer reviewed journals. The research achievement in 2023 fiscal year is better than expected.
