Immunization in the context of the SARS-COV2 (COVID-19) pandemic - Operational guidelines for National Immunization Programs in the WHO African Region

The COVID-19 pandemic has expanded rapidly and is forcing Member States to introduce restrictions to limit population movement and further transmission of SARS-COV2. The extent of the restrictions will change as we learn more about the best approaches to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, there is a need for a dynamic and flexible guidance to maintain the immunization program, which can change as the COVID outbreak evolves.WHO AFRO has developed this operational guide, which is aligned to the global guidance, to assist Member States to mitigate the risks for the immunization program.
