Course information

"Overview: Equity is essential to the Sustainable Development Goal principle of 'leaving no one behind', as well as central to the WHO GPW13 objective of 'serving the vulnerable'. Equity is embedded as a priority in global efforts to promote immunization. The WHO Immunization Agenda 2030: a global strategy to leave no one behind envisions "a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines for good health and well-being".

Monitoring inequalities in immunization is an important part of efforts to promote equity. Systematic approaches to measure inequalities in immunization provide information that can help countries tailor policies, programmes and service provision and demand promotion to close gaps in immunization. The outputs of inequality monitoring in immunization are particularly relevant to immunization programme review and planning activities, such as the desk review stage of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Review and comprehensive multi-year strategic plans (cMYPs).

This course examines the five general steps of inequality monitoring in the context of immunization programmes. The target audience is primarily monitoring and evaluation officers for immunization and people who have basic knowledge and experience working with immunization data."
