What are the main uses of the immunization card?  Provides the child’s date of birth (DOB)  Informs health worker and caretaker of: – Vaccines already received – Vaccines needed in the future – Next appointment for vaccination

 Can help identify infants who do not return for vaccination on time  Documentation of vaccination is important in conducting vaccination coverage surveys

How to record vaccination on the card • Immunization cards are being updated to include a space to record the IPV dose IPV

• Until these are available, record the IPV dose by hand (along with OPV dose) on the immunization card

• Include the date the vaccine was given, and write “IPV” (not “polio”)

Remember to record both OPV and IPV separately  Both IPV and OPV will be administered simultaneously  Therefore, both IPV and OPV should be recorded and monitored separately, not as “polio vaccines”

Record separately as “OPV3” and “IPV”, not “polio”

What should you do in this scenario?

The parents of a child provide you with an old immunization card. There is not a designated space for recording IPV in this card. How should you record the vaccination(s) given?

How to record IPV vaccination on the tally sheet?  Tally sheets have been updated to include IPV  Health workers should keep a tally of each vaccine dose given

 At the end of an immunization session, count all doses on tally sheet

How to record IPV vaccine on the monthly report  Monthly report sheets have also been updated to include IPV

 Use tally sheets to prepare the monthly reports  Report number of vaccine doses given each month, including IPV  If you need to use old reporting forms, add a space for IPV doses IPV

How to track infants for IPV vaccine  It is critical that all infants get IPV at 14 weeks of age, typically along with Penta3 (or DTP3) and OPV3  The EPI programme needs to identify all eligible children, and to get them to the vaccination sessions – How to identify newborns? • Review birth registries and other health and civil records • Use volunteers, community leaders, and religious leaders to learn about births – How to get the infants vaccinated? • Inform parents about vaccination sessions • Use volunteers to identify and follow up with parents whose children are due for IPV 12 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5

How to track infants who have not received a dose of IPV vaccine  Ensure that all children get at least 1 dose of IPV at or after 14 weeks of age, along with Penta3 and OPV3  Follow up with infants who were expected to receive a dose of IPV, but did not (defaulters) Keep track of children who are due each month

 Use reminder cards, immunization registries, or community volunteers to follow up with defaulters

 Use community volunteers to remind families of infants who will soon be eligible for IPV vaccine to get the vaccine
