WHO & UNICEF Guidance: Integrating COVID-19 Vaccination into Immunization Programmes and PHC
If you are currently working on integrating COVID-19 vaccination into overall immunization programming, check out this webpage which provides comprehensive support for countries in developing and implementing COVID-19 vaccination integration, aligning with guidance from WHO and UNICEF. This support package includes general guidance, an integration mapping tool, readiness assessment checklist, and implementation and operational support materials. Key resources encompass guidelines, publications, and frameworks, such as "Considerations for integrating COVID-19 vaccination into immunization programmes and primary health care for 2022 and beyond." The Integration Mapping Tool, accompanied by FAQs and a video, aids in situational analysis. A readiness assessment checklist allows countries to assess their integration status, while implementation materials include country case studies, presentations, and operational frameworks for demand promotion. Regular updates are expected, and contacts for further inquiries are provided for WHO, UNICEF, and Gavi.
The materials are available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, enhancing accessibility and effectiveness in the global effort to combat COVID-19.
