Real-Time Monitoring for Vaccination Campaigns in Malawi
Vaccination campaigns allow countries like Malawi to vaccinate large numbers of people in a short period of time against vaccine-preventable diseases such as polio and cholera. The monitoring of vaccination campaigns in Malawi has traditionally been undertaken using paper forms and analysed after a campaign. Through this approach, there was no possibility of using data in real-time to identify problems as they arose and to course-correct during the campaign. The paper-based reporting rate was also low. At the end of a typical campaign, reporting rates were often less than 50%.
The Essential Programme for Immunisation (EPI) division of the Malawi Ministry of Health, along with UNICEF and other partners, implemented digital real-time monitoring of vaccinations in 2022 with the objective of improving coverage of vaccination campaigns through improved management informed by rapid collection of data.
