How to record vaccination on the card • Immunization cards are being updated to include a space to record the IPV dose IPV • Until these are available, record the IPV dose by hand (along with OPV dose) on the immunization card • Include the date the vaccine was given, and write “IPV” (not “polio”) 6 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5 November 2020 | 03

Remember to record both OPV and IPV separately l Both IPV and OPV will be administered simultaneously l Therefore, both IPV and OPV should be recorded and monitored separately, not as “polio vaccines” Record separately as “OPV 3” and “IPV”, not “polio” Vaccine Date Given May 15, 2015 Penta 3 May 15, 2015 OPV 3 May 15, 2015 IPV 7 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5 November 2020 | 03

How to record IPV vaccine on the monthly report l Monthly report sheets have also been updated to include IPV l Use tally sheets to prepare the monthly reports l Report number of vaccine doses given each month, including IPV l If you need to use old reporting forms, add a space for IPV doses IPV 11 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5 November 2020 | 03

How to track infants for IPV vaccine l It is critical that all infants get IPV at 14 weeks of age, typically along with Penta 3 (or DTP 3) and OPV 3 l The EPI programme needs to identify all eligible children, and to get them to the vaccination sessions – How to identify newborns? • Review birth registries and other health and civil records • Use volunteers, community leaders, and religious leaders to learn about births – How to get the infants vaccinated? • Inform parents about vaccination sessions • Use volunteers to identify and follow up with parents whose children are due for IPV 12 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5 November 2020 | 03

How to track infants who have not received a dose of IPV vaccine l Ensure that all children get at least 1 dose of IPV at or after 14 weeks of age, along with Penta 3 and OPV 3 l Follow up with infants who were expected to receive a dose of IPV, but did not (defaulters) Keep track of children who are due each month l Use reminder cards, immunization registries, or community volunteers to follow up with defaulters l Use community volunteers to remind families of infants who will soon be eligible for IPV vaccine to get the vaccine 13 | Recording and monitoring uptake of IPV vaccine, Module 5 November 2020 | 03 Year: 2015
