A Guide for conducting an Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Review
This document provides guidance, tools and templates to implement the five stages: (1) developing concept; (2) planning and preparing; (3) conducting the review; (4) synthesizing findings; (5) translating into action. The EPI Review should be a comprehensive assessment of all seven basic immunization topics: programme management and financing; human resources management; vaccine supply, quality and logistics; service delivery; immunization coverage and AEFI Monitoring; Disease Surveillance; Demand Generation. The review can also put emphasis on any other special area that is relevant, for example, gaps between survey and administratively reported data, EVM management scenario, urbanization and equity, human resources capability for surveillance.
The reports evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the immunization components, often include a SWOT analysis, and outline recommendations for the changes and adjustments needed to improve the immunization programme. Information on barriers may appear in different parts of the report.
