2025Open accessUniversity Of Antananarivo

Abstract

Africa has faced persistent challenges due to underinvestment in vaccination programs and disease surveillance programs. There was substantial underreporting of COVID-19 cases during the pandemic in both countries. Our findings call for improving systems and resources in disease surveillance during epidemic and interepidemic periods in these countries.
