The analysis revealed that school-based vaccination programs can significantly enhance vaccine coverage. Educational interventions, reminders, provider-directed interventions, financial incentives, and multilevel interventions were found to improve vaccination rates among children and adolescents. Additionally, school-based programs were effective in delivering vaccines such as the influenza vaccine and the HPV vaccine, achieving high coverage rates and reducing illness incidence. School-based vaccination programs are a viable and effective strategy for increasing vaccination coverage among school-aged children and adolescents. These programs benefit from the structured school environment, which facilitates the organization and delivery of vaccines. Future efforts should focus on optimizing these programs by addressing logistical challenges and ensuring stakeholder engagement to maximize their impact on public health. The study aimed to evaluate the role of school-based vaccination programs in improving vaccination coverage among school-aged children and adolescents and analyze various interventions and their effectiveness to identify key factors that contribute to higher vaccination rates within the school setting.
