Practical Guide for the Design, Use, and Promotion of Home-Based Records in Immunization Programmes

This practical guide, developed by WHO in consultation with partners, is intended to provide direction to immunization programme managers and other national health programmes on how to improve the use and design of home-based records and to serve as a reference when developing or revising home-based records. This document will be useful in countries where there is low prevalence and utilization of home-based records; where stock-outs of home-based records occur; when a country is introducing a new vaccine; and other circumstances

in which a country is considering a revision of the home-based record. The guidance within incorporates relevant experience and ideas observed across countries and current practices in the field, and can be applied in a wide variety of settings.
