Summary

Despite the overwhelming impact of vaccines on child health and the tremendous progress in vaccine coverage globally, challenges of vaccine inequities persist. Missed opportunities for vaccination (MOV) is defined as any contact with health services by an individual who is eligible for vaccination which does not result in the recommended vaccines being given. This is common in several countries, and it presents a window of opportunity to provide vaccine services to those vulnerable children accessing healthcare facilities.

The overall purpose of this project is to reduce missed opportunities for vaccinations by targeting hospitalized children who are vulnerable to poor health outcomes, but who are also within easy access of the healthcare system. The research team proposes implementing the Missed Opportunities for Vaccination Equity (MOVE), an intervention to improve timeliness and coverage of vaccination, and increase demand for vaccination services, through a combination of sensitization of children's caregivers and health workers, manual vaccination data capture in the ward, and re-purposed vaccination resources. The strategy engages key stakeholders in the design of the intervention through a co-creation workshop; their involvement in the design and execution of the intervention will improve sustainability in the long-term. This intervention builds on existing healthcare systems, and, when scaled up, can target inequities in vaccination coverage in the general population, without placing additional strain on the healthcare system in terms of workforce or financial resources.

Minimizing Missed Opportunities for Vaccination (MOV)

This bundle of interventions has four components that include: (1) Disseminate (vaccination awareness among healthcare providers and child caregivers); (2) Document (vaccination status); (3) Deploy (vaccines); and (4) Discharge (provide advice/referrals for catch-up and routine vaccinations).
