SUMMARY OF FINDING FROM CIP PLAN I. REASONS FOR LOW VACCINATION COVERAGE -Poor community participation due to knowledge, poverty, site effect, etc... -Poor involvement from volunteers / local authority -Not enough outreach sessions -Houses are scattered -Lack of transportation to remote villages -Lack of transportation during rainy season -Minorities -Mobility -Slum -Insecurity

SUMMARY OF FINDING FROM CIP PLAN (Cont.) II. EXTRA ACTIVITIES PLANNED TO INCREASE COVERAGE -Conduct IEC (mass media, inter-personal communication, meeting with community, meeting with volunteers/authorities) -Increase number of outreach sessions -Conduct catch-up activities -Transportation to remote or flooded areas -Transport vaccine -Conduct special outreach activities in slum and remote areas -Conduct quality supervision and Post Activities Assessment -Conduct meeting with health staff

SUMMARY OF EXPECTED EXTRA NUMBER DPT3 & EXTRA FUND REQUIRED

COMPARISION OF GOVERNMENT FUND TO EXTRA FUND REQUIRED

BENEFITS AND RISKS POTENTIAL BENEFITS -HC can map out areas where children were missed -HC can identify reasons why children were missed -HC can prepare a perfect plan of activities to cover well its responsibility areas -HC can cost properly its plan of activities POTENTIAL RISKS -It costs very expensive to vaccinate and extra child ($4 per an extra child) -Government budget may not be able to support some of these extra activities, even in the future -Not sure will be able to expand to ALL ODs -Sustainability depend on DONNERS

WHAT ELSE NEED TO BE DONE IN THE FUTURE Need to follow-up the progress of CIP implementation Need to expand CIP implementation to other operational district Need to modify CIP strategy ???
