This document is a list of contributions to a special issue on immunization inequalities and the need for equity in vaccine access. The contributions include analyses of factors such as wealth inequality, gender barriers, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, subnational coverage, childhood immunization coverage, data triangulation, global economic benefits, geospatial analyses, timeliness of vaccinations, factors associated with vaccine uptake, parental hesitancy, and sociodemographic trends. The document emphasizes the importance of addressing structural factors and refining analytical approaches to achieve immunization equity. The Special Issue was funded in part by Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, but the funder had no role in the writing of the Editorial. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
