Delivering Immunization Services Where They Are Needed: RED/REC in Mozambique

Immunization coverage is estimated to be reasonably high in Mozambique, but numbers indicate that there is a problem with timely and correct vaccination. The national coverage rate also masks inequities between districts and communities. To address some of the shortcomings of immunization services, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) have prioritized introducing and scaling the Reach Every District/Reach Every Community (RED/REC) strategy to high priority districts. JSI has been supporting the EPI and the Provincial Departments of Health (DPS) to implement RED/REC in three provinces. This document describes the RED/REC interventions in these provinces, including progress and improvements to immunization services, as well as marking the way forward for Mozambique.
