Delivery of the Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) vaccine in northeastern Kenya
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To answer questions on the delivery of the Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) vaccine in northeastern Kenya, a gendered socioeconomic analysis of vaccine delivery was conducted.Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from men and women cattle owners, chiefs, veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals in Ijara subcounty, and a vaccine manufacturer representative in Nairobi.Results indicate that a private public vaccine delivery hybrid model exists.Most cattle owning households purchase vaccine and veterinary paraprofessionals vaccinate their cattle because there is a shortage of veterinarians in the region.Vaccine purchase from manufacturer is restricted by the government enforced requirement that only a government veterinarian or their representative can purchase.The road infrastructure in northeastern Kenya is very poor and the vaccine, which requires refrigeration, is transported to the field in vaccine carriers containing icepacks and by public means of transport.Often, the duration of vaccine in transit necessitates the changing of ice packs, which may compromise the already low efficacy of the vaccine.The study also tested the adoption rates of vaccine by men and women cattle owners by determining their willingness to pay for a hypothetical (safe, efficacious, thermostable and commercially available) vaccine using the bidding game contingent valuation method.Men are willing to pay significantly more money, because they owned higher cattle wealth, than women.The variables gender, number of adults in the household and owning cattle jointly, have significant influence on the willingness to pay, and hence vaccine adoption.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
