Continued Challenges

Page 11: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Key Programmatic challenges

• Shortage of trained human resources at all levels

• Coordination and planning:– Weak inter-sectoral coordination among Health, ICDS and

other ministerial departments (eg education)

– Lack of quality RI micro-plans and PIPs in many districts, states

• Data reporting and use:– Divergent coverage estimates – survey assessed and

reported

– Tracking children

• IEC – Communication for behavior change:– Inadequate social mobilization and demand generation for

immunization

Analysis of gaps

• Low Access :– Immunization session sites are not included in

microplan– Session not attended by ANM – leave, post

vacant, not going to the site• Poor utilisation:

– Irregular sessions, variable quality of services– Non-availability of vaccine/logistics– Poor messaging and communication – Low community confidence in services

Efforts to strengthen RI

Page 17: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Efforts to strengthen RI

1. Policy level initiatives

2. Expanding RI micro planning and monitoring

3. Capacity building

4. Cold chain and vaccine mgt. strengthening

Page 18: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

1. Policy level initiatives

• New draft Multiyear Plan (cMYP) developed 2010-17

• Decentralized and flexible funding as per state Project Implementation Plans (PIP) under NRHM– District/block specific plans for hard to reach areas

(inaccessible, tribal and urban) are reflected in PIPs

– Funds for Addl. Vaccinators, alternate vaccine delivery, ASHA

• Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) – revised

• Human resource assessment at national and state level for UIP ( IIM Ahmedabad 2010)

• Developed National Vaccine Policy in 2011

Page 19: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

National Vaccine Policy

• Made by Consultative process

• Core committee incl. experts, NTAGI members, UNICEF and WHO

• Guided by principle of vaccine security

• Newer vaccine introduction kept in mind

Page 20: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Improving RI microplan

• State initiative supported by partners

• RI micro-plans revised using more frequently updated polio micro -plans

• Exercise lead to increase in number of outreach sessions planned

Training & Capacity Building

• Health Workers:– Re- started in year 2007, majority of HW got 2

days training exclusively on immunization– Evaluation of HW training done in year 2009-10– New Training material developed, refresher

training started this year (Feb 2011)• Medical Officers:

– Ongoing in most states– 60,000 Medical Officers to be trained – Approx. 60% have been trained by now

Prioritization of the statesCategory DPT3 coverage Names of the states Remarks

Poor performing states

DPT3 coverage less than national average (NE states excluded)

MP, UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Orissa, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh

Good and medium performing states

DPT3 coverage more than national average(NE states excluded)

Rest of the states

North Eastern states

Not considered Assam, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Meghalaya

Difficult to access, geographical terrain, during a large part of the year

Grouping of the states for IRI in India-2012

North-East states

Poor performing states

Good & medium performing states

Note: These states have been categorized, based upon DPT3 coverage in India, as per CES-2009

Page 30: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Identification and prioritization low coverage areas

Strategy• Risk analysis using block as unit • key basic parameters for risk analysis are

– Immunization coverage, drop-out, – outbreaks of measles or other VPDs, – session monitoring data, – accessibility, and availability of services,– human resource availability– high risk population data collected for Polio

under the RRT (EPRP)

Page 31: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Special strategies (1/3)

• Development of action plan with clear timelines.

• Suggested components to include but is not limited to – Up-dation of micro-plan– Reallocation of human resource– Trainings– Intensive IEC activities– Catch up vaccination (Immunization weeks)

b/w Jan- April 2012 to raise the profile of Imm. Program and to reach the unreached

Page 32: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Special strategies (2/3)

• Communication strategy and operational plan to be rolled out in Q1, 2012– Awareness about session site (visibility)– Branding of immunization– Advocacy with media and partners

• HR strengthening– strengthening in management structure,

Technical support unit (TSU) be set up at national/ state level in accordance with HR assessment report

– Filling up vacancies at all levels including ASHA and AWW

– Detailed guideline under development

Page 33: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

Special strategies (3/3)

• Teeka Express– Strengthening AVD– to provide a branded vaccine

delivery van to cold chain point for the delivery of vaccine to the session site and return back

– In underserved populations, tribal, hard to reach areas, LWE areas, urban and peri-urban areas

• Improved supervision (addl. Funding under PIP)

• Cold chain & VM

Page 34: Immunization Intensification -network mtg 13 dec 2011

To conclude..

• India accounts for highest number of un- immunized children in the world

• Disparity exists among rich/ poor, rural/ urban and social groups

• Year of intensification 2012 has provided an opportunity to accelerate efforts to reach the unreached.
