“…Introduction Vaccine-preventable infectious diseases (VPDs) covered by routine childhood immunisation programmes are major causes of morbidity/mortality as outbreaks continue to reoccur despite repeated efforts to increase immunisation coverage. This trial aimed at increasing optimal/timely immunisation coverage.Methods The Adaptive Group Intervention for Optimal routine childhood Immunisation Coverage (AGINTOPIC) trial was conducted from 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2023 in Ebonyi state, Nigeria. 16 geographical clusters (where the primary healthcare facilities were providing weekly routine childhood immunisation) were covariate-constrained-randomised (1:1) to control arm (receiving no intervention) and intervention arm (receiving hybrid parents/health workers adaptive engagement to enlighten/facilitate regular communications/working relationships between them regarding optimal immunisation). …”
