Improving immunization coverage and equity - technical resources
Comparing Resources
| Resource | Immunisation in Practice (IIP)- Guidance on microplanning and partnering with communities |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To provide information on vaccines and immunisation. It can also be used as a training resource during immunization workshops, with the main target being subnational and health facility level. |
| Content | Information and planning tools for subnational and health facility level on vaccines and diseases, the vaccine cold chain, ensuring safe injections, microplanning for reaching every community, managing an immunization session, monitoring and surveillance, partnering with communities. |
| Expected outcomes | Community and facility planners will be more informed on immunisation. Planning will be more matched to needs based on application of RED planning and monitoring tools. |
| Strengths | A comprehensive source of information on all aspects of EPI and vaccines relevant to immunisation practice at health facility and subnational levels. |
| Contraints/Limitations | Designed as information source rather than as a training module (but can still be used as a resource for training). |
| Why use it | (a) Provides information on services for reaching every community, and on RED Planning tools and partnering with communities; (b) Used during both planning and training sessions; (c) To improve understanding of immunization planning and service delivery at health facility level; (d) Of high relevance to zero dose and under immunised, as the process involves identifying priority health centres and communities, barriers to access, and describes methods for tracking of defaulters and partnering with communities. |
| Who should use it | Health facility and sub-national level managers and health workers. |
