JSI collaborated with the Directorate of the Expanded Program on Immunization, key stakeholders, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to identify and implement practical, low-cost strategies in Cité Soleil—a very poor urban commune located within the Port au Prince metropolitan area—to strengthen immunization services and improve coverage.
