The Concept

• As part of our mandate that is directed at ensuring that immunization services are equitable and of high quality, USAID Momentum aims to support the state in this regard.
• The growing recognition of zero dose and under immunization has grown over the past years, particularly since it can predict outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases.
• Nigeria through the support of global partners such as GAVI have invested in the reduction of the 2.2M estimated ZDC in the country.

Rationale

• The state has 32 supervisors funded by GAVI conducting RISS in 243 facilities.
• These supervisors are insufficient to ensure that at least each facility is visited monthly.
• Consequently, the huge workload has kept them from making significant progress in the identification of ZDC in settlements across the state.
• These LGA consultants will assist in identifying ZDC and under immunized children through RISS community survey, combing health facility registers, mapping the location of ZDC, populating data tools for research on factors associated with ZDC, conducting RI spot checks.

Objective

• To train 8 LGA consultants in the identification of ZDC, conducting RISS, and RI spot checks in all LGAs in Bayelsa .

Methodology

• A total of 8 consultants will be assigned to 8 LGAs.
• Data from the backend server from WHO, will be analyzed monthly.
• LGA consultants will attend SERICC or LERICC meetings to provide feedback on ZDC identified and would enable outreach teams to reach those that are far away, improve linkage with the health facility and inform ACSM WG on the right approaches to address hesitancy and increase demand.
