Increase and sustain high immunization coverage rates

The key to increasing and sustaining high immunization coverage rates is to increase the accessibility of immunization services, particularly by opening more vaccination delivery sites at times when mothers can bring their infants. As you know, many children are not immunized because they live far away from health facilities. These children could be given the opportunity to be vaccinated through establishing outreach services, supported by mobilisation teams going from house-to-house identifying children (and mothers) who need vaccinations.

You might also have seen health professionals giving immunizations in your community in well-publicised campaigns that encourage parents to bring children to a health facility for vaccination.
