POST 00761E : ROUTINE IMMUNIZATION SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

POST 00761E : ROUTINE IMMUNIZATION SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TOOL Follow-up on Posts 00756E and 00758E 10 March 2005 _____________________________________ The following comment came from Alasdair Wylie (mailto:[email protected]) from the United Kingdom. _____________________________________ Timely reminders by Mike and Mobido - except that excluding an indicator/criterion (such as AEFI surveillance) on the grounds that it cannot yet be attained is very likely a sure way of helping reinforce neglect of the activity? "You don't get what you can't measure", or suchlike. This might be an opportunity to again look at and further improve the annual WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form, although it also remains likely that it is at subnational (district and/or region/province) level where the need for institutionalisation of assessment indicators for routine programme performance is greatest.
