Abstract:

This is the first edition of Guidelines for Safe Immunization Practices and Monitoring Immunization Programs at the Facility and District Levels in Yemen. It is a compendium of revised EPI (Expanded Programme on Immunization) documentation; recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Ministry of Public Health and Population; current guidelines for immunization data analysis and utilization; and materials for monitoring and evaluating the immunization system and provider performance. The guidelines will be piloted in Amran Governorate in 2005; recommendations based on pilot experience will be incorporated into revised guidelines for use nationwide. The manual is designed primarily for health personnel who are responsible for the implementation of the immunization program at the facility and district levels. The section on evaluation of the work at facilities can guide both the facilities in doing self-evaluations and district immunization managers in monitoring and supervising facility-level work. The worksheets contained in this manual for monitoring immunization work are illustrative. A full set of worksheets has been published separately in an immunization workbook for districts.
