Intervention guidebook for implementing and monitoring activities to reduce missed opportunities for vaccination

Overview

This Intervention guidebook for implementing and monitoring activities to reduce Missed Opportunities for Vaccination (MOV) is the third in a three-part series of the MOV strategy resource guides. It focuses on steps 7–10 of the 10-step MOV strategy – implementing, monitoring and evaluating actions to reduce MOV.

This Intervention Guidebook can also be used together with the Planning Guide to Reduce Missed Opportunities for Vaccination and Methodology for the Assessment of Missed Opportunities for Vaccination or for situations where it might not be necessary to conduct a standard MOV assessment, this Intervention Guidebook can be used as a stand-alone guide.

The MOV strategy should not be viewed as a stand-alone or discrete “project”; rather as complementary to existing microplanning and programme improvement approaches such as the Reaching Every District (RED) strategy. The MOV strategy is conceived as a health system-wide service improvement effort targeted at improving vaccination, as well as other health services within a given health facility.
