Kelly McDonald started a new discussion, New Topic Page: Dose Per Container (DPC)
The recently published topic page on dose per container (DPC) provides a range of useful resources from case studies to decision support documents to better understand the effects of DPC on six immunization system components; namely operational costs, timely coverage, safety, wastage, and policy/correct use.
The Dose Per Container Partnership (DPCP) is excited to share these resources and hope that you will find them useful in your work with the immunization system as a whole. We encourage you to share your thoughts with us to continue the conversation on DPC.

USAID’s flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) is pleased to introduce our latest publication, Community Monitoring of Individual Children’s Vaccinations: Six Country Experiences.
This brief details MCHIP/MCSP experiences with community monitoring of vaccinations in Timor-Leste, India, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Tanzania. These efforts involve engaging communities to monitor every child’s individual vaccinations, promote vaccination, and refer caregivers with under-vaccinated children, often supported by use of the My Village is My Home (MVMH) tool, initially developed in India as a public tracking tool to motivate families and create the social expectation that they should keep their children up-to-date on vaccinations.
Although attributing coverage changes to community monitoring is challenging, countries experienced successes including higher coverage, improved timeliness, and more accurate target populations. In addition, both communities and health staff...MoreUSAID’s flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) is pleased to introduce our latest publication, Community Monitoring of Individual Children’s Vaccinations: Six Country Experiences.

Although attributing coverage changes to community monitoring is challenging, countries experienced successes including higher coverage, improved timeliness, and more accurate target populations. In addition, both communities and health staff noted and appreciated a new sense of partnership and joint responsibility for children’s health.
The brief notes challenges that countries may face implementing community monitoring and the MVMH tool, including selection and supervision of community collaborators, and incentives to reimburse volunteers for their time, effort, and expenses. However, despite these challenges, use of the tool can help empower people to take control of their own and their family’s health, enhance health literacy, hold health services accountable for providing more reliable vaccination sessions, and demonstrate a successful approach that could be adapted to improve health actions beyond immunization. Furthermore, such an approach encourages the health system to emphasize engagement and collaboration with communities.Find the brief attached or use the link here - https://www.mcsprogram.org/resource/community-monitoring-of-individual-childrens-vaccinations
