Box 2: Interventions to improve delivery of immunization services

§ Expand EPI services with increase in number and quality of services by refurbishing the sites and rational placement of vaccinators

§ Expand reach and quality of outreach services in the slum through joint microplanning and integration of filed workers of all departments

§ Arrange evening/weekend RI services (fixed site or outreach) for children of working class parents in the slum areas.

§ Develop a private sector engagement strategy to provide immunization services in areas where there is no public health facility/health workers available e.g. memorandum of understanding (MOU) for public-private partnership

§ Minimize missed opportunity of vaccination by providing daily vaccination in facilities with high load of clients and establishing referral system between child health department and vaccination sites.
