POST 00542E : POST 00538E : JOINT REPORTING FORM ON VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES

POST 00542E : POST 00538E : JOINT REPORTING FORM ON VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES Follow-up on Post 00538E 22 January 2003 ________________________________________________________________________________ Olivier Ronveaux (mailto:[log in to unmask]) from Vaccine Assessment and Monitoring at WHO reports on the request for comments on the Joint Reporting Form on Vaccine-Preventable Diseases. ________________________________________________________________________________ In general, the proposed indicator was considered to cover two different questions (one for maintenance and one for replacement plan). Furthermore, it was considered too static and not very informative. Out of the various proposed alternatives, the following was selected for the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form: "Was there an updated* (2002) inventory (models, location, and age) of all refrigeration equipment assigned for public immunization services in the country?" * updated: can refer to a new inventory or updates through regular reports. We thank all the contributors to the discussion and look forward to see its outcome in the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form. This selection does not preclude the use of any other cold chain indicator at country level.
