The Strengthening High Impact Interventions for an AIDS-free Generation (AIDSFree) Project designed and delivered a three-day, face-to-face training for the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) implementing partners working with orphans and other vulnerable children and key populations to increase implementing partners’ capacity to design and implement interventions that are gender-aware and -transformative,…
The Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) of Haiti, through the National Coordination Unit of the Vaccination Program (UCNPV), established a partnership with JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) with funding from Gavi, the vaccine alliance, in order to strengthen the routine immunization system in Cité Soleil. One of the activities conducted by…
The number of doses per container (DPC) can impact the ability to efficiently achieve a country’s goals for timely and equitable coverage, and also has implications for safety, costs, supply chain, and wastage. Given the complexity associated with trade-offs between price and immunization coverage and other system components, it is important that immunization stakeholders understand…
The Dose Per Container Partnership (DPCP) undertook quantitative and qualitative research in Zambia between January 2017 and July 2018 to examine the effects on the immunization system of administering the measles-containing vaccine (MCV) in 5-dose vials rather than the standard 10-dose vials. The Government of Zambia recommends lyophilized MCV at 9 months of age for…
