LOOK AT THIS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
Exploring country experiences implementing approaches to address immunisation backsliding.
HOW YOU CAN USE THIS MATERIAL:
Country immunisation stakeholders can learn from the lessons and experiences of others to ensure zero-dose, missed, and under-immunised children are integrated/re-integrated into the routine immunisation system and to strengthen the immunisation system to withstand future shocks.
OVERVIEW:
Despite progress in the aftermath of the pandemic in restoring immunization coverage, some Middle-Income Countries (MICs) still lag in terms of performance. Considering DTP3 coverage as a backsliding indicator, several countries in various regions have been slow to catch up to pre-COVID rates, while others continue to fall behind. Challenges identified by countries contributing to persistent backsliding include zero dose and under vaccinated children, vaccine hesitancy, service delivery challenges, and limited health worker knowledge about guidelines on delayed vaccination.
Linked held an in-person workshop to bring together government and partner stakeholders from countries experiencing persistent backsliding to discuss ongoing challenges and their experiences implementing approaches to address backsliding, such as root cause analysis and microplanning and to share good practices and lessons learned.
