Posted by: David Brown UNICEF / Marta Gacic Dobo WHO All too often overlooked, the home-based vaccination record maintains a central role in documenting immunization services received across the lifespan. WHO and UNICEF are working to heighten awareness of the importance of the home-based vaccination record as a means to foster coordination and continuity across service providers, facilitate communication between service providers and parents, empower parents in their child’s healthcare, and to support public health monitoring. To this end, a website, immunizationcards.org, has been established to facilitate the free and open exchange of information related to home-based vaccination record content and design. In addition, a blog has been established, moot.it/immunizationrecords, for people to share experiences related to improving the availability, utilization and retention of home-based vaccination records and experiences related to the revision and update of home-based vaccination records. Finally we share several papers that discuss home-based vaccination records further. Brown DW. Child immunization cards: essential yet underutilized in national immunization programmes.
