Defining hard-to-reach populations for vaccination.
Extending the benefits of vaccination to everyone who is eligible requires an understanding of which populations current vaccination efforts have struggled to reach. A clear definition of "hard-to-reach" populations is essential for estimating the size of target groups, sharing lessons learned based on consistent definitions, and allocating resources appropriately. In this paper, a literature review was conducted to determine what formal definitions of hard-to-reach populations exist and how they are being used, and to propose definitions to consider for future use.
