Thank you for sharing this useful tool. I had earlier shared some of the
comments below with Robert Steinglass.
1) The use of this tool might facilitate decision making by a well trained
health worker during an immunization session.
2) However, this tool seems a bit complicated for some basic workers who
may not have received adequate training.
3) It does not address the issue of Hepatitis B (as monovalent or in
combination) and Hib vaccines. These are already in use in quite a few
countries.
4) A question that I have is "Would it be better if we make one tool for
each vaccine (may be like the old circular TT tool that we had in the
nineties to indicate intervals between doses and duration of protection)
that will outline when, in what combination, and how often one can/should
administer it?". This may facilitate the addition of one tool to the 'tool
kit' as each new vaccine is adopted by the EPI programme in a country.
