SUMMARY:WHO GRISP Scholar Special Events: Strategies for Catch-Up Vaccination in the Context of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges for health systems and in some places has led to disruptions in routine immunization service delivery &amp; decreases in vaccination coverage. As programmes work hard to restore and maintain immunization services, it is important that strategies &amp; mechanisms are in place to enable individuals who have missed their vaccinations, for any reason, to be identified and vaccinated as quickly as possible.\n\nThe session, hosted by&nbsp;the Geneva Learning Foundation and the World Health Organization,&nbsp;discusses the importance of continuously implementing catch-up vaccination as an integral component of routine immunization, as well as intensified strategies to close immunization gaps following a disruption in immunization services, as described in new WHO guidance&nbsp;Leave No One Behind: Guidance for Planning and Implementing Catch-up.
